It really depends on how you install the light bar, but the surface mount "feet" are a 1-3/4" from the bottom of the mount to bottom of the light bar. Then add in another 3-1/4" for the bar itself and it has the potential to stick up pretty high from the roof of your typical Wrangler. Rigid does have a set of "Brow Mounts" that install on the a-pillar and keep the light bar pretty flush with the top of the roof. Give us a call at 1-877-578-2433 to order, as we don't currently list the brow mounts (though we may soon).
