Measure the height of your rig as it is now, add 5" to it.

Measure height of door opening at it's lowest point.

Subtract.

 

I have 7" of total lift (4" suspension and 3" body) and my truck fits fine into the garage. I have just a normal door opening. About 7 feet or so.

ok so just add 5 inches to the toltal hight of her ground to roof??? thats easy ill brb hang on

 

Thats a lot of lift for 33's. You planning on going to a larger tire size?

 

ok 70 inces takk now! + 5 = very close call lol but it will fit cause i have a 7 foot door too YAY!! 4 inch lift here i come if i my mom will let me (she knows about my side fall lol i droped her on her side allready and i think its stock hight)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

okay, well feel free to correct my math.

6 ft = 6*12 = 72 inches.

Truck = 70 inches

Truck + lift = 70 + 5 = 75 inches

75 inches = 6ft 3 inches

Garage door = 7ft = 84 inches

84-75 =9

Figure you need 2 inches of clearance to fit in, to be really safe.

44 inch tire compared to a 31 inch tire is extra 6.5 inches of lift. This would leave you 2.5 inches of space.

Why would you get this much lift just to keep 31's?

You could go from a 31 inch tire to a 35 and still have 5 inches to spare

 

i thought the point of lifts was to get bigger tires? lol. not always, but ya know, if u can afford it get em. bigger tires make u a man. or a tough woman.

 

just let some air out of the tires

 

I wwould say with that 4inch suspension you should run a 33inch tire at the least. I'm running a 33x10.50 on a stock suspension and I'm only planning to improve the rear spring settup. I would think hard before purchasing the 4inch lift if you are only going to run 31/32inch tires.

 

Nah not too worried about it. I bought it like it is. I could easily take out either of the lifts and keep the 33's but I don't want to stick any more money into it.

i was just goin gto keep the 31's if it didnt fit out back i live in the city so im not sure what the leagle hight is around here anyways but 4in lift+44in tyres =fitting in my garge i hope if not the ill park it in the front on the street cause if its that high who would brake into my truck and take my goodies anyways what i really wanna do is go as big as the ifs will go but after 4in you have to do drive shafts and all whatnot else but i found a skyjacker 4in lift brand new for only 1,600 bucks but i need the shocks and brake lines other then that it comes with it all bolt-on style!thanks for all your help guys and sexy ladies not sure but thanks you!!.....and axleike thanks for the run down i copyed it and pasted that so i can look at it when i get it
