It Fits!!!!!!!
Got the new F350 KR CC 6.0 PSD LB SRW yesterday and wouldn't try to get in in the garage 'till someone was there to watch the top. My '04 barely got in with the clearance lights and the '05 is 1.7 inches higher(by the specs.). It fits! Barely tho, 4 inches at the rear bumper, and enough room to squeeze by the front with the garage door down. Can't tell you how nice it was, in the garage, Jimi doin' Purple Haze on the 6 disc changer, cold cerveza close to hand. Can't forget to remove the trailer hitch when parking in the garaqe...

I'm going to order a 05 F250 Crew 4x4 w/18" tires tomorrow and was wondering if it was going to fit in my garage. I saw the specs in the brochure but wasn't sure how accurate they are.
Do you have a standard 84" height for your garage door?

mine clears by 1 inch with out roof lamps. antenna hits the open door . 6 inches in the back 2 feet in front and its a swb one. ford needs to lower them jus a bit but then they won't look as cool.

Thanks for the quick replies!
Geeez that's a close fit, and I have a weather strip around my door which only gives me 83" in height. I've been going back and forth on the 17 or 18" rims, maybe I will just go with the 17" ones - easier on the brakes, less expensive, more tires available now and will fit in garage a little nicer.
We get alot of ground frost up here in the north, I'd hate to have my slap lift up or have snow build-up some winter and scrape the paint off the roof of my truck.

Congrats on the new KR! The only way my 05 Lariat will fit will require a new sectional garage door and moving my 69 Judge out of the garage, wife refuses to give up her side of the garage. I guess I'll have to pour a pad on the side of the house and erect on of those canopies.
