Garage Door Opening.
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, I'm looking for a little help.

Can anyone that has a 4" or 6" lift with 35" tires please measure the height of their truck from the ground to the top of their window frame and provide me with their measurement?

It looks like I am going to clear my garage door opening by around 2", the opening is just under 84". The top of my window frame is coming in at 81.75", this is of course once I add everything up since the body and frame are separated. I am thinking I will lose an inch or better in height once all of the weight is on the frame.

I am just looking for reassurance that I will not have to air down my tires in order to get in and out of the garage.

I am running a 5" lift with 35" tires.

Thank you!

4" lift with 35's.
garage opening to floor is 6'5" but i push it up by hand an inch or 2 to clear my roll bar without scrubbing. i've never attempted with my top on as i know it wouldn't work.

i have considered modifying my garage door linkage to lift a couple inches higher but I never really had to.

good looking build you have going

--edit--just measured from floor to top of windshield frame and it looks like 77" so my door opening is closer to 78". truck has new body mounts but must have settled a little over the years (i know i sure have)

That is good information! Thank you for taking the time, and thank you for the compliment on my build. It has taken a bit to get here. Lol.

6" lift and 35" tires

app. 82". I was going to lay something across the top to get a true measurement. It is just shy of 82".

Awesome, great news! Thank you for taking the time to do that, it is very appreciated!! When I got the axles under the frame it looked so much higher than I anticipated. This puts me at ease.

Thank you again, have a good weekend!!

It is funny because I have a 7'3" door. In a few weeks it will be ready to make its 1st venture out since the lift kit and tires.

Your post actually make me so, Oh Snap!. The after the measurement it was a WHEW!.
