Lift, tires & garage question.
I am looking for some info. I would like to put a 6" lift on a 05' F150 SC 4X4 with 35's. Can anyone tell me if that combo would fit in a standard 7ft garage? I would hate to spend that much money and not be able to park it in the garage. I tried to measure it myself and it looks like it might fit but I would like to have some input from someone who has this setup.
Thanks

I have a seven foot door and the opening into the garage is 6' 11". I have a stock 2007 FX4 CC with 20" factory wheels (31" high).
When I pull halfway into my garage and measure just above the rear window, I have 9" of space, so that makes the truck 6' 2" at its highest point. Yours should be very close, depending on the height of your factory wheels.
If you add 6" of lift and go with a 35" tire, the front of the truck will go up about 8". The back will go up about 6". Depending on the pitch of your driveway as it enters the garage and the actual height of your door opening, you might have just enough room to fit.
I did all of the measurements because I was considering the same thing. However, I park my truck at the airport in town and the clearance for their garage is only 6'-7", so I have decided to go with a 2.5" leveling kit and 33" tires for now. Plus, the smaller tires will give me more power to tow my boat in the summer months ahead.

PS. The ceiling height of my garage is 9 feet, so my door and hardware are well out of the way when opened.
