THAT is good news. The parking garage here at Davis requires 8'2" so if your truck can fit under 7'9" then i should easily fit, since i plan to get the fabtech basic as well. That seals the deal, i was thinkin i might have to go 4" rancho but nope.

Summer baby.

Screw you guys with big garages! No im just kidding. I really doubt it will change my mind on the lift i want, but i was just hoping it wouldnt have to sit outside. I live in the city so i cant just throw up a shed because believe i would like to anyway! Id also like to move back to the country. Im sick of the city and living 40 feet from my neighbor!!!

With 16' ceilings and a door almost as big, I would have to put a lot of lift on my truck before i wouldn't fit.

This is kinda irritating. I know for sure someone has looked at this thread with a 8 "Rize lift and 37s. Can a guy get some feed back. Come on guys and gals...get those tape measures out and help a poor guy out.

FYI Do you have any type of grade pulling into your garage? If you do then the truck will actually need more clearance than what you would measure on flat ground.

Wrong. If you have to come up off the street, then the truck would actually be shorter once the front axle is inside the door, and the roof may be 1-2 inches shorter. Break-over angle.

Your correct. Negative fall into the garage would cause the issue.
