Longer and Taller

Check out the order guide that bigred460ci just posted. Looks like we will indeed see a 3" or so total length increase. (Not just the wheelbase as some had thought.) We are also seeing a height increase. Man, I hope these monsters can still have a 5ver sit level behind them without modification. Ugh.
2017 crew cab 6.75' bed - 81.5"
2016 crew cab 6.75' bed F250 - 79.7"
If the hitch sits 2" higher, and you tow a 32' fifth wheel (mine is), that is only a 0.5% rake. That's really not bad. 2" over the length of 32' is really nothing to sweat about.

I'm only seeing a 1.5 - 2" increase in height. Make sure you are comparing 4x4 to 4x4 and 4x2 to 4x2.

I posted this same question in the other thread but figure it makes more sense here...
I know this is a hard question to answer but I prefer a bunch of educated guesses over my own. Lol
I ordered a Platinum 250 w/ an 8' bed and added the LED Clearance Lights. I have just a hair under 83" of clearance to get inside my garage.
What I am wondering is if the clearance lights add any additional height, or if they are masked by the downward slope on the front of the roof. And if that's not the case do y'all think they will exceed the gap between the standard 81.3" in this guide and the 83" of my garage opening.
My current Super Duty doesn't have clearance lights that's why I'm so dense on the subject. :-)
