Is Your Lifted Truck Garaged?

Just curious how many on here with lifted trucks are still squeezing into their garages. I thought when I got my 6" lift and 35's my days of parking in my garage were over.

I can still get in with a couple inches to spare. I'm not sure it would with the moonroof tilted open.

Yeah mine fit at my old house when i was running 6" Sky Jacker and a 2" Leveling kit on brand new 35 inch grapplers and i actually had too change the setting on my garage door so it would go up about an inch so i could get in haha. But now that im in texas and lifted my truck higher now way its happening

My truck spends most of its time in the garage. 6"Lift rolling on 35s. I have a motorcycle and a $300 4banger I drive to work. Truck is just my toy. I've had it 4 years and just hit 36000 last week.

I seriously doubt my truck would fit in any garage. Running the 6+3 combo, I have even run into clearance issues at drive-thru's.

Mine is garaged......sort've.....guess you could call it a garage. It sits in a metal Morton building that has 12' (?) doors on one end that slide open for bigger equipment.

my truck is about 7'3". garage door needs another foot to clear, even then it might clear by 1/2 inch. the most my truck's been in the garage is enough to work on the engine in the shade lol. my truck wont fit in most of the local parking garages around here... an apartment i looked at in Colorado had an 8' clearance, 7'6" with an opener. and it was long and tall enough for my truck and a 6x12 trailer... i hope they have some units left when i go back up there this fall

I can get in mine going forward, if I try to back in it is way to close to chance it.. But most nights it is parked in my shop with 14' doors.

Mine sure does, only with a 14' roll up door and a 24' ceiling in the shop. Now a regular garage, i would shear off my cab about 3/4 of the way up

Most times I'm staring straight at the gutters when I pull up to a garage.

Mine can . If I let the air out in the rear bags and take off the bracket that attaches the garage door to the garage door opener. With about a 1/2 " to spare .

i have a few inches to spare on my truck, now my dads motorcycles and my hardtop and tires for the fj40 have the stall where my truck fit.

my fj40 before i tore it down had a spring over lift (about 5-6") and with no top i had to put down the windshield or it would hit the garage door motor or w/e its called. once i get those 35's on it, there is no way in hell it will be garaged

Garage? GARAGE? What's that! My truck hasn't spent a night in a garage, since I brought her home back in 97! BUT! I do wish I freaking had one! She keeps asking when! WHEN are you gonna get me out of the elements!

I wish mine would fit in the garage. That is definitely one of my requirements when I buy my permanent home, must have a garage large enough to fit my truck.
