I have a Wrangler and a low ceiling. I'm wondering, what is the minimum clearance needed to remove my hardtop?

I used it for my old FJ 40 and only needed about 8". The problem with the low ceiling is you have no way to pull a vehicle back in if the shell stays there. I was able to get my roof within 6" of the ceiling.

Difficult to say for sure, the lift has not worked as well as I helped it would

I don't have measurements but my ceiling is also low my Jeep is lifted with 31" tires so the roof will hang on the hoist only inches above the height it already is when it is still on the Jeep. It's much better than having the roof sitting on the ground but not much help if you wanted to work in the garage or save garage space. Although it is amazing how effortlessly the roof can be removed & put back on using the hoist.

The manual states that you must have a minimum of 8 inches between the garge side wall and the end of the torsion bar. I currently have 5 inches between the side wall and the side of my Lift Master.I hope this helps answers your question.

Clearance from the back surface of your vehicle is the question here. Mine is on a motorhome but I had to cut and reweld for MY purposes.

You must have a low clearance garage. The J bars fold down and only add a few inches of height in the collapsed position. But if you don't have a few extra inches, they remove with two hand-tighten nuts each. So it would take 15 minutes to take them on & off, but not something you'd want to to every weekend. We leave ours on all the time, just flipped down. Except for one trip to the lumber store when we loaded them up with a bunch of 2 x 4s. :-)

When installed the Hullavator adds 22" to the height of my car. My factory installed rail clearance is 1.75".

I got the new cover because I needed a bit more space in the diff due to being re-geared to run 35s. I have a 2010 Wrangler with a 2.5" Old Man Emu lift and as well as their anti-sway, so I'm most likely not matching up with your specs. That said, it works (and looks) great!

I believe it's about two inches! It's just enough that you shouldn't have to splice the wiring for the 3rd tailight. I installed this mount on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. If your concern is the tire clearing the third tailight on the spare tire mount, it will depend on what size rims/tire you have as the spare. I have a 33" spare and it's the max permitted on the tailgate and it clears the light! Hope this is helpful.

I have the Access Limited tonneau cover installed with the RockyMounts Clutch SD (2 ea) with NO clearance issues. The Access Limited cover also allows for unobstructed use of the sliding tie-downs that come with the factory installed rail system (Tacoma 2005-2015).

a google search reveals that you need 3" clearance. There is a product that might help you http://www.northshorecommercialdoor.com/limo48rjo38a.html

The owners manual which should have come with your heater shows clearances as follows. From the ceiling 36", from either side 8", from the floor 2", from the rear none provided it is mounted with the supplied mounting bracket. Hope this helps!

Jeff; I am away from my home, so not able to measure. However, I'll pass along my experience in case it could help others. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that I mount the cargo carrier on. It has a swing out spare tire rack. When it swings out it was hitting the tailgate side of the carrier. I ended up modifying that side by lowering it 1 3/4 inches in my case. It wasn't hard to do. Required drilling some new bolt holes, sliding down to the desirable height, rebolting about six vertical supports and cutting the excess off, and grinding them smoothe.. So, the outcome is the carrier sides are slated toward the tailgate and there was enough clearance now for the spare rack to swing out.

We have had our cover rock-it for a few months now, and use it regularly. There is maybe 2 or three inches clearance on either side. Makes things SOOO much easier.

I'm running BFG All Terrain 33 x 10.5 x 15s' on my 97 Jeep TJ. I don't see any reason why you can't run 33 x 10.5/ or 11.5 or 12.5. Lots of clearance. I love em because they give me a lot more clearance when flexing over rocks or rough terrain. I am running a 1.5" body lift plus a 3" suspension lift but that shouldn't make any difference either.

You might have to do some cutting. I took mine off because it blocks the headlights and makes the jeep do a nose dive(60 lbs). It doesn't leave room for winch or future bumper choices. Not trying to tell you what to do but I got sick of having to take mods off because they weren't compadable with future better mods. I loved it for a month, then hated the grill guard. Sorry to go off on a tangent! Good luck.

I think you would be ok. It does not follow the countour of the windshield and you have a 4 inch gap betwen the top of the windshield and the top of rhe lght bar. I have a hard top so was never an issue for me.

You will need an appropriate mount and spring for the location. I mounted mine on the rear of my Jeep and it extends above the top about 6 inches.

Minimum clearance is 3". You should have just under 1/2 inch clearance from the top of the motor housing to the ceiling. The servicing panel is located on the front of the unit so the clearance will not interfere with servicing parts. I'd call the manufacture to request specs and installation facts and download the installation /owners manual before purchase.
