I can't speak to whether or not this is going to fit in your garage or not without knowing at what height they're installed but I can tell you that the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit for Utility Trailers - 250 lbs # MPG493 are 54" tall. Because this means you're adding 5-1/2 feet to the height of the trailer just with the TopTier, and the J-Pro 2 # MPG117MD adding 16-1/2" I really think this would be a tight squeeze to fit into a standard garage but you'll want to take some measurements to be sure.
