Lifted guys, does your truck fit in the garage?

For all you lifted guys, can you tell me how tall your truck is to the highest point of the cab? I'm pondering what to do with my truck next, and was wondering if it would still fit in the garage if I lifted it.

Thanks

Mine does..... but I'd hardly consider it to be "Lifted".

Mine is slightly lifted, I dont think it would fit in a 7' opening. I have an eight foot opening so i know mine fits

Mine barely fits with a stock height, no way would it fit with 3" or more of lift.

I measured mine by laying a broom stick across the roof of my truck and measuring down to the ground. It measured out to be right around 6'10". Don't know if that will fit in your garage or not. Good luck.

Be prepared to swap out your stock antenna. I couldn't stand mine slapping the aluminum on entry and exit. A shorty works just fine, now.

My antenna is 1/2 black and 1/2 bare metal!

I used to be able to fir my truck in the garage with the leveling kit alone. Now I'm just 2-3 inches too tall to pull her in.

I don't know the exact height, but I'm guessing nearly 7' even.

Thanks for the help guys. My current garage measures 6'8" so it would be really close with a 6" lift and 35s. I'm gonna be building a new house this summer so I'll just see about getting a slightly taller opening.

My truck would clear by about an inch on top....BUT, with all the stuff in my garage, my truck is too wide!

My stock truck won't fit in my garage lengthwise. I have metal shelving at the front that's about 1.5 feet deep. My bed hangs out about 1.5 feet if I pull it within one foot of the shelving. Not even close with the shelving. Without the shelving I'd probably have to get within six inches of the wall to park it in the garage. :/

I use to be able to fit mine in the garage before the 1-1/2" Autospring but now its not even close. However, it would never fit in my garage length wise.
