If you are close to failing height requirement... just lower air pressure in tires to measure legit. There is no requirement that you must run x psi in your tires

I can show you how to do the measurements if you would like to "see" it done.
Most people lift 2.5 to 3.5 and put 33's to 35's on. For the lift... on a JKU, you're good. You just have to worry about the wheel coverage and mudflaps x4. This is done through aftermarket flares, flare extenders, mudflaps, tire width, rim offsets, etc.
Lifting anything more than the 3.5" gets drastically more expensive, because of the domino effect of other issues that will need addressing, like steering, driveshafts, etc. ($$$)
My rig is on a 2.5" suspension lift with a real 34.4" tire. Tire and lift gain gives me about 3.7" total increase over stock.
Building LCOG, low center of gravity - and capable rigs is where it's at. Bigger is not always better, especially if it is a daily driver.

I've heard others throw some other numbers around but the problem we face in MB is too many levels of conflicting rules. I hope I am just reading the wrong section/guide for that.
