    350 SRW CCSB.....yes....about two inches to spare. Antenna will hit, but will be fine. The clearance will depend on your garage door trim. Make sure the door opener is adjust so that it goes up all the way past the trim. Also, check the rod that connects opener to the door....be sure to check that it doesn't hang down below the door itself. The approach could play into it as well.

    I spent a day taking out the header. Reworking the trim and cut off the bar. I started with 82 3/4" now I have a full 84".

    That's what I've got now. I'm going to put in a 8' door eventually but I recently drained my savings account!

    ...and here I thought my 2012 SD 4x4 was a tight fit. Geezz!! LOL!!

    Appreciate the replies. I don't park the SD in the garage, but I like to do the oil changes and other maintenance while inside.

    NO way to add larger tires to a '17 SD 4x4 and still have it fit in the standard 7ft door.
