6" LIFT WITH 35'S .. Height??
I have an 2006 F150 Crew Cab. I really want to put in a 6" pro comp lift and run on 35 inch tires. Stock truck as is measures 6'-4" per FORD specs.
If I put in the 6" t and the 35's will I still be able to get in my garage with a 7 foot high garage door?? Any have this setup?? I don't trust the neighborhood to park my beloved F150outside. |

Yes the tire is 3'' bigger, but only half that is below the center of the wheel. |
i didnt know what stock height for that body style was i was jsut figuring 33's

You are correct in that your 275/55R20 tire is about a 32" tire. Increasing to a 35" tire means the new tire will have a larger diameter of about 3" but this measurement difference does not mean the truck will sit 3" higher. You have to think of the height increase from the center of your tire to the ground which is the radius (half the diameter). Radius of old tire is about 16", new tire is 17.5" (a difference of 1.5) so your truck should be no more than an 1 1/2" taller from the tire change plus however much you gain from the suspension lift. I apologize if I'm being confusing; maybe my crude drawing will help.

Ya I was thinking to fast sorry LOL as you might clear but be careful
|
You wont clear
|
that's why I'm sticking to my 4.5 with 34s so I have some clearance in parking garages since I live in the city some what.
|
something to keep in mind-
my truck is older ('97), but has a 6" lift and 35's. Though my door is 7ft, the framed opening to my garage is actually larger. Measure from the ground up to the height of your door header. I disconnected my garage door opener and open the door all the way (past the framed opening) and stick a block of wood in between the bottom of the garage door and the header- to hold the door all the way up on the tracks and out of the way for clearance. This allows my truck to squeeze into the garage with about an inch and a half to spare |
My truck fits in my garage with a couple inches to spare

32'' to 35'' will only gain you 1.5'' in height.

also keep in mind that depending on if you put AAL's or taller blocks in the back, it will increase your rake, and ultimately angle your roof up even higher - yielding less clearance.
or you can just find out the hard way, like my brother did that an f250 doesnt quite clear some parking garages... |
Eh just air down the tires!
|
Just get a good alarm and leave it outside
