What is the roof height on y'alls trucks?

With what lift and tire size?

I'm think 82" (6' 10") is the tallest that will fit in my garage? I'm at 71.5" (plus 3" antenna) with 2.5" RC plates on stock FX4 tires.

Assuming you want to go higher(would only benefit adding the rear) I think my truck is maybe an inch higher with the Old Man EMU lift and the 285/70-17 Firestone Destination XT's

I'm getting my 285/70-17 KM3s tomorrow! I'm more curious what the 6" lift with 35s height is. Like the Maxlider truck. Ive never seen anyone mention their clearance height on here.

Yeah a 6 inch lift wont do you as much good as you think especially if you like using your truck as a truck. With the Old Man EMU and the 285/70-17 tires it lifted the front by 4 and the rear by 3. With all that I have plenty of usable travel(and not much waisted like a 6 inch lift) and I can get things in and out of the bed fairly reasonably(not so much with bigger lifts and tires).

Now if that isnt your concern then go for it but I wouldnt suggest it

Funny this thread is up here because I never thought of how tall my truck is until yesterday. My wife and I went explorer some of the beach spots around Deerfield, FL and decided to stash the truck in a parking deck. Well, I pulled into the parking deck driveway and there was a height restriction bar hanging across the entrance that read 6'8" and a gentleman waiving me off. Luckily they had a back entrance to the parking deck with a 8'9" entrance I could enter and a "oversized vehicle" parking area just inside that entrance. But my truck, lifted on 32s, with a RTT and large antenna on the front bumper, is not fitting in any normal garage.

show us an after pic i bet the new rubber makes it look really sweet!
My roof is at 73" and add another 8.5" for the antenna. So probably 6' 6" would be the lowest i could go.

I guess it comes from growing up in socal where it was always parking structures. But now in Dallas that i need to park in the garage due to hail I'm concerned about my garage entrance. I still have room to grow but 6" lift an 35s is right at the threshold. That was the reasoning for my question. I couldn't find and answer on here. @Maxlider doesn't mention the height either which i feel is important, especially with the financial commitment going through them.

I just measured today. I am 6' to the top of the cab, plus ~3" for the antenna (I have a stubby). I need to stay under 7 feet to clear my garage. Someone tried to steal my old car, so I refuse to leave my car outside...

My awning puts me at 6ft 11in. Antenna is 8ft 1in

If I pull the awning and antenna, I'm at 6ft 8in with my rack. Not great for low hanging ceilings..
