ride height

[tsmith1156]

Ok so here's what I'm dealing with, everyday I park in a garage with a 6'10" clearance. I have heard from many people that with what I want to do I should be OK parking in there still. I want to run the 3" lift in the front and skyjacker c25rs in the rear, anyone know their ride height off hand? Also, if you know how wide it is from tire to tire so I can check that clearance as well. Thank you!

Are you going to run wheel spacer/adapters? What size wheel and tire/brand? These will all affect your overall width.

I have Mark's 2.5" lift/level kit installed, with Z71 springs in the rear. I'm still running stock 17" rims and stock size 245/65/17 tires. This combo gives a measured 2.5 to 2.7" increase in height at the wheel arches, for an overall height of 75" at the roof rack rail, and about 77" at the highest point of the rack crossbar, so you've still got at least 5" of room to play with before hitting the 6'-10" mark. That's more than enough to allow for your 1/2" higher lift, and larger tires, too.

The width from out to out of the rear tires on my truck is 72", which looks to be 4 to 6" narrower than the truck body, so wider tires and rims should not be an issue there, either.

I hope that gives you what you need to go ahead with your project.

I have Marks 3in suspension, his 3in body and 265/75/17's and I've squeezed in a underground that said max height 6-6. It was scary but I had a spotter walking beside the truck. I did have to go out around one pipe and my antenna dragged the roof of the parking garage pretty much the whole way lol. I regularly park in a garage that claims a max height of 6-10...

Thank you both! Exactly what I was needing!
