Cab Height clearance

I've recently had to park in a parking deck(6'8" I think). Anyway, it looked pretty close. The antenna would even smack the headers once in a while.
I haven't gotten around to measuring the clearance height of my FX4 w/ 2" leveling kit.
Anyone know the clearance height off hand(I'm guessing the leveling kit does not change the overall clearance).
Anyone else use a parking garage?

I don't know the clearance, but I navigate the parking garage at school pretty well. It is rather close, but I think that our trucks can fit in pretty much any modren parking garage. I'd say the clearance is probably about 6'5", cause I'm 6'3 and my truck is just barely taller than me.

Thanks for the reply tardman. Guess if I wanted more responses I should have titled it " just added Westin bullbar " That would get at least a dozen

Not sure if its true or not, but I heard the stock antenna height is also used to guage height limits in garages etc. If the antenna hits you may be too tall to enter. Continue forward at your own risk. lol

I'm curious to know this as well. I am interesed in the lift kit, and the garage I park in at work is advertised at 6'. But I'm thinking it's more along the lines of 6-5" There are a few pipes where I'll have an inch or two and the antenna dings those.
