Funny, it was the one option the bride dug her heels in on. If I do a train horn I'll never get her out of it.

Instant clearance height indicator.

That's a nice idea. But, why did it matter if the fuel tank was empty? The antenna and cab would change height equally, right?

Black bulb on the top of my antenna has all of the paint rubbed off of the top b/c it hits on my garage door as it goes into the garage. My truck has about an inch of clearance to pull into the garage.

I want clearance lights, but if I install them, I highly doubt my truck will fit in the standard height garage
