Lifted Cherokee height
I'm looking at buying a 24' enclosed trailer and most interior heights are 6'7". What would the height be on a 6" lift and 35's? I'm buying the trailer for my move to AZ but I don't want to buy the trailer if the turd wont fit inside of it. My jeep is stock height right now otherwise I would walk outside and measure. Thanks in advance, and I did search, you would be amazed how many times height is used in a thread.

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
I have 8" lift, 37's and an exo cage .. and am pretty sure the parking lot at starbucks is 6'8" and I fit..
I'll try and remember to measure tonight though. |

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
stock height+ 6" of lift= 6" taller
35" tires-old 28" tires = 7" the radius of 7" of added height is 3.5" 3.5"+6"=9.5" taller than stock

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
I figure if it doesn't fit I'll just change my plans and go down to 4-5" or air down the tires instead anyway. Just curious.

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
Get 4 emergency spares to use when trailering.
You also need to check the door height, it is lower than the ceiling height

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
Thanks Darky, thats kinda what I'll been looking for. I think I'll measure the door and hope for the best. I do like the emergency doughnut idea though. They will be skinnier too. Thanks for the brainstorm guys.

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
Looks nice. I like that it has power and the work bench. In Nov. 2008 I was moving back to AZ from NC. When I moved to NC in Nov 2006 it cost me around $2300 plus fuel to Move my stuff in the smallest Uhaul truck and the trailer with me Dakota on the back. I was not about to give $2300 away again. So I bought a 24ft enclosed car hauler from a guy in Texas Its just a plane jane enclosed trailer with dual alxes and a max weight of 7008 Pounds. If you have a truck to pull that big of a trailer I say do it. By the way the cheapest place to buy a trailer Brand new is Texas and Georgia where they are made. I paid $5500 for my 24ft enclosed car hauler in texas the exact same trailer sells for $7500 in Tucson AZ. If you had to sell it after you moved out here you can break even or maybe make a little back on it. Stay away from the Outback brand really cheap and will fall apart on you. My only regret now is not getting a triple axle for more weigh and a 30ft to put two xjs in to go wheeling farther from home. We are trying to figure out how to get two rigs on our next run with my trailer. As far as getting your rig in I dont know how high you will be but My xj with 4inches and 32s has about a foot at the door way thats with out anything on top of it. I dont have measurments right now. And a Zj with 6inches and bald 38s with factory rack about 3 inches to spare the door way. Just some food for thought.

Re: Lifted Cherokee height
Thanks Mike, I actually decided on another trailer it's a 27ft dual 7000# axles I'm going to take a look at it today. Here is the link: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/for/1865823568.html I found a 32ft. gooseneck but my wife said she wants to be able to use the bed while towing...dunno why ohh well. I'll let you guys know if I scoop it up. I tow with a 07' Chevy 3500 Duramax so I don't think I'll have a problem with the trailer...and if I do, I trade this truck in for a Cummins.
