My buddy just measured his highboy which has 4" skyjacker springs and 38's. He said it's roughly a inch or so over 7' with no cab lights. Probably not what you want to hear if you have a 7' door.

33's to 35's not bad and should still have pretty good street manners for the boy. I am glad I did not disappoint you. lol

Or go 38's, move the header above the garage door up and add another panel to the bottom of the door. And then of course move the tracks and then temp your fate with the roll up spring death machine.. Problem fixed. lol

Sawzall, some long demo blades and 5 batteries in the bag. Waiting to put the address in the GPS to get to MI. I go north and then easterly right? lol

Do not mod the current garage, just build a new 2 truck taller one! Tall boy (8' or 10' side wall) carports are cheap, quick to put up and closed in easy enough.

Mine stands at 82" with 2" lift and 33's, i dont know how your buddy's truck is only 2" taller with a 4" lift and 38's. My shop door is 7' so i told him that i think 4" lift with 35's should be enough. Thats a dam nice looking truck though, like it. Thanks again to all that helped, Even Rich who is now lost some where in Indiana. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry! I wasn't there when he measured it lol. I'm pretty sure he can read a tape measure but I agree now that you said something. I shoulda measured mine they're kinda close.
