Sorry, I forgot that in this day and age, guys get their feeling hurt so easily. In my day, men were, well...more manly. It's hard for me to get used to the fact that we all live in mamby pamby land now.

I Have to agree with you. I hate how you have to tip toe around everyone's feelings just to be politically correct. which is why i dont do it.!!!

Okay, I measured today. I only have about 1.25" of clearance left before my cab touches the bottom of the 6'4" clearance sign leading into the garage.

I really would like to get a taller tire on my truck. Does anyone know how much difference in height there is from going to a 275/55/20 to a 275/60/20? I'd really like to fit a 275/65/20 or 285/65/20 on my truck, but if it raises my truck's cab much more than 1 inch, I couldn't do it.

You can see that I'm about to scrape on the clearance sign. Although there's plenty more room, they have the sign because of a low spot on the 4th floor of the garage that's marked with a flashing light.
