I've measured, researched and came up with multiple heights. So, what is the height of the softtop bow?
My 'calibrated eyeballing' says just under 7ft.
How tall is the softtop?

Re: How tall is the softtop?
Are you looking for a vertical clearance measurement from the ground? If so, which tires? I can measure mine, I have stock NDTs. I can tell you that it fits in a standard residential garage with room to spare.
Re: How tall is the softtop?
Mine looks to be a tick more than 82", so I'd go with 82-1/2" clear.
Re: How tall is the softtop?
My cab bow is 83" and the cargo bow is 92" at the highest point.

Standard 9x16 tires. Measuring from the ground to tallest pont on the cab. I have 82".

I'm thinking >84" door opening is good.
Changing garage location so I don't have to take the bikini top off/on every time.

Re: How tall is the softtop?
Always better to have 1" too much clearance than 1/8" too little!!!
Re: How tall is the softtop?
With my 900x16s and 50 %tread I'm 71 at the back cab bow. I may need to check again based on the other responses.
