Will it fit?

Just wondering what size of garage door I'll need for my '78 F250 Crewcab with a 4" Skyjacker lift kit (spring kit) with probably no more than a 35" tire when it's done.

7' tall door?
8' tall door?
9' tall door?

Don't want to buy a place if I can't get the crewcab in the garage! lol

Thanks!

mine fits with about and inch and a half clearance on my 10' overhead thats with 24" lift and 53's thats 24" over stock with 53" - 31" stock tire height=22" / 2 =11" = 35" over stock height so that means, its 7' plus 4" plus 35- 31 /2 is 2 so you'll be 7' 6" maybe you should wait for someone with the same truck . i have no idea, my head hurts

My truck has 35s and when they were brand new i couldnt fit in the garage of my house, i believe i had just a standard 7 foot door, as the house was only 4 years old. Im not sure if i have any kind of lift or not

the tires are 35x14.5x15s, and for the lift im not sure, the rear has what looks to be 2 2" blocks stacked on top of each other, i assume there not factory, well at least one of them. I can snap a photo tomorrow if you would like
