First time for my truck in a parking garage yesterday
I really wanted to do it but definitely tried to chicken out a few times. I took my mom to the doctor and had made up my mind I was going to take her in my truck and survive a parking garage. I started thinking when I got to her house we could go in her Toyota. I had never been to this place before but my sister had so I texted her and asked "soooo its a multilevel parking garage right?!?!". And she was like "yeeeeaaahhh?
Finally I said to myself "dude man the F up and drive your mom in a super duty you can do this!!!!"
When I pulled in I was oh shhh........then when I saw the first open space I thought damn that is SMALL so I was relieved to see a sign "compact cars only". A few switchbacks later I saw some nice "window seats" and backed in. Its all good! That's me on the left.
I kinda cheated because I'm a little lower (2wd) but my being CCLB made up for it.
I'm ready for a CCLB dually!!

I was recently at the same impasse, I started to go into the parking garage with my pickup and when about 5 inches of the antenna was touching the lower than this sign... yah decided I would find a open air spot...

We have 2 parking garages in town. One has a vertical clearance of 6' 0", and the other is 7'. Even the seven footer is a close call. Only parked in it once for the street fair downtown, and had to park on the roof because the spaces were only as wide as my sheet metal (the mirrors hang over the stripes on both sides).

I have to park in a garage for work every day. Fortunately it's 7' high and I get there early so there are practically no other cars inside.
Tip is always find an end space and back the pig in just as you did. Don't park on the "ramp" sides. I do try to avoid leaving during the day because it's really tight otherwise.
As long as it is tall enough, like 6'8" or higher, I'll find someplace to jam it in, preferably away from heavy traffic.

I park in a garage every day. My spot is on the end on the sixth floor. I back in with the driver's side hugging the line and fold the mirrors in (power mirrors are so nice!). I've never had anybody ding the side of my truck (yet). The ball on my antenna is ground down pretty flat, but still drags on the beams. When it whacks one of those metal exit signs hanging down, it scares the boogers out of people.
