Hmm my Explorer sits about 2" higher than stock (suspension lift + taller tires) which based on published specs means it should be at about 75" tall and it still fits into my garage no problem.

Hmmm.....I might have to go remeasure to see. Googling my car's specs, it says the height is 67" plus the 4" lift, 70 series tires compared to the stock 225/55/17, and the yakima crossbars which add around 3"-4".

Well assuming your lift gave you 4" of height at the top of the car, you get an additional inch from the tires. That puts you at 72" + the 4 inches from the roof rack is about 76" anything on top of the rack may make you too tall for a standard 7' garage door opening.

Been there done that with my parents pass-thru garage.
Huge rented truck. We hauled in something like 60-70 80lb bags of concrete..
When we unloaded and went to leave, it almost took out the garage trim. My dad said, "well guess we have to reload some to make it out." I said nah, deflate the tires lol.
A lot easier.
