Clearance Height?
I'm currently looking for a new place and want to make sure my soon-to-be-arriving 4Runner will clear the garage. My plans are a 2"-3" lift on 285/70/17 tires and a roof rack with light bar. The rack will probably be a Prinsu or Gobi (the smaller version). Does anybody with a similar setup happen to know a rough clearance height that I can use as a reference? Thanks in advance for the help.

The roof rack is what will push you over the edge most likely. My 4runner has a 3/2" lift with LFD roof rails which only add 1" of additional height, and I can still fit into 6'8" parking garages. I'm sure if I went for a full replacement rack, I probably wouldn't fit anymore.

It depends I think. I'm on 34's with a 2 1/2" ish lift front and rear and I run the ARB roof rack which is very tall (7" off the roof I believe) and I just fit into my 7' garage door opening with a 1/4" to spare. That being said I don't go in 7' parking garages for obvious reasons.
Which rack are you looking at? Edit never mind about the rack question. I know the Gobi is shorter than my ARB but not a lot. I think you'd be tight in parking garages below 7' |
Just order a Gobi rack - by the time you get it, you'll be living somewhere else anyway!

I think you'll be in the neighborhood of 6'4" to the top of the OEM roof rails.

My lifted TE with OEM rack is about 6'7'', although I managed to squeak into the SFO parking garage recently so posted clearances might have some wiggle room. |

I guess someone might have to measure? I'm basing my guess on the fact that I can still fit under the 6'8" garage height at work with my awning on that's about 3-4" tall on the side with 1.5" rear springs. With 2.75" rear coils I can't fit. So I figured without the awning I'd probably be right in the range of 6'4". |
14 TEP w/ 285/70/17's, 3" Toytec lift, Rhino Rack - Pioneer Platform which totals 77.5". My garage door is exactly 80" to the trim, so I have a little wiggle room for snow. My rack came with side rails, but they put me over the 80" in my current configuration so have been removed. I don't have a light bar, but if I get one it too will need to be low profile, ideally adding little or no height.

Just couldn't resist with the previous comment! However, there was a thread (I think it was here) where a guy raised the header on his garage and added a panel to the door to get the extra height he needed. Might be an option if there is room.
You can also get a little more height (inch or 2 +-) by adjusting cable tensions or springs. I replaced my springs a couple of years ago when one broke and learned a little doing it. Got to be very careful, messing with the springs, if you go this route. |

I literally just measured. Explains how I squeaked into SFO. I swear it was almost 6'8" when the lift was new and it had slightly larger overall outer diameter Firestone 285s on it with fatter lugs. |
