Does anyone know the approximate height of a 109 fitted with a roof rack, such as this one: http://www.roversnorth.com/store/p-5...nd-ladder.aspx I know that the height is going to vary a bit based on tires fitted, springs, etc., but am looking for a ballpark figure. My garage doors are 7' high, so even ballpark figures would be helpful such as a response along the lines of: "the height is going to be well over 7', so don't even bother" or "it will be around 6.5', so proceed with caution and take a lot of accurate measurements". Thanks in advance!

Unless you want to go with tired springs and 15" rims I wouldn't bother with the roofrack if you want to park it in the garage.
I just measured mine at 7' 1" and it has been sitting awhile and may have sunk into the grass a tadbit.
If I remember the only time I wouldn't worry about a parking garage is if the sign said that the maximum height was 7' 6"

71IIA SWB on 30 X 9.5" (fairly small) rubber and RM parabolics (1" lift IIRC) and the hardtop clears the door by about 2" so that would be a no on anything with a roof rack.
