Question:
Does this system plus a low profile box fit in a 7foot garage door?

The 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee has an overall stock height of about 5 foot 9 inches or so meaning that combined a roof rack and cargo box cannot be more than 15 inches tall in order to fit in a 7 foot tall garage opening.
The two shortest boxes are from Inno, # INBRM660WH for white and # INBRM660BK for black. They are each 11 inches tall.
The most low-profile roof rack is a Thule AeroBlade Edge system such as # TH7602B-TH7602B with fit kit # THKIT3142. It is designed to fit models that have the factory side rails with a metal strip on them. Once installed they will add approximately 3 inches or so to the height of the vehicle. That would bring the overall height to about 14 inches. It will be close but this is pretty much the only set up that is going to be short enough.
