    I have a 2020 Venture edition and just purchased a bunch of parts to start doing my mods. I have some questions on what my height will be looking like.

    I am going to assume I will not get in my garage with the RTT on after I install my lift (88" garage clearance) and I will have kids that will be in carseats in the back of the vehicle, so I don't want to go too high, but I also want to make sure I have proper clearance to hit the great trails out here in Colorado.

    From my understanding, the tires and spacers will add an immediate ~1.5" or so, plus whatever I choose to set the suspension at.



    Purchased:

    Bilstein B8 6112 Series Suspension Kit

    Bilstein B12 Series Suspension Kit

    Bilstein 5100 Series Shock Absorbers

    Speciality Products Upper Control Arm Sets

    BF Goodrich KO2 285/70/17

    G2 6 on 5.5 1.25" Wheel Spacers

    UpTOP Overland Bravo Rack (Couldn't find height of rack)

    Roam Adventure Vagabond XL RTT (12" when closed)

    RSG Flat Sliders With Grip Top Plate





    Cheers and excited to start getting into the mods!!

    Are you talking about wheel spacers adding height? They have absolutely no effect on how tall your vehicle is. Your lift will be determined by what coils you have in the front and/or what setting you set the 6112 to. I’m not sure what you have in the rear for coils but your rear lift will be determined by whatever lift spring you get or spacer that you use.

    Gonna look awesome!
    In the same boat 2 kiddos boutg in car seats (almost 4yr old and 7mn) we ( me) Nuna car seats and work great.
    Go a full 2" or 2.5" no issues
    If anything make sure to use a good alignment shop (one that knows how to alignment lifted vehicles)
    And set your caster forward a little to avoid having to do body mount shop (not that, that's a big deal anyway)
    1.25 spacers will give you that flush wheel /tire look and allows for flex with no issues
