Anyone with this setup, what your magic 'nope, ain't tryin it' number?
Currently I have a 2" leveling kit and 35" and 6'8" is the limit. Can squeeze through but gives me chills.

 

I wouldn't even bring a stock height Ram into one. I had a doctor's appt. at a local hospital and a Duramax qclb was struggling to just make the turns. We were lined up forever being this guy.

 

I run carli 3" and general 35" and can clear parking garage interior beams. More roof headroom room now than when I ran skyjunker. I think our garage is the same 6'8" height. I'd bet you'd be ok w/37". It might be a little scary at first....lol? I could measure setup as-is?

 

2inch spring leveling kit with 35 nitto mud grapplers and 7 ft parking garages don't mix i hit the bar!!!!! took a tape measure to it and it measures 7ft 3 inches

 

Interesting. How many miles do you have?
I've got 268k, 2" spacers and Wrangler Dura Tracs and 6'8" is my magic number right now. 7' will make ya pucker, but I always clear.

 

I'm sure there are many guidelines for parking garage construction around the US. For North Carolina, I have been able to fit my 05 in every garage I've tried. 6" lift pieced from various mainstream companies and 37" tires. I just have to remove my CB antenna.

 

Okay that's a good point. I drove a cute little dodge 1500 single cab short bed. Had one of those goofy one sided ladder racks that I shortened so it wasn't sticking 8" above the cab.
I knew for sure that the truck wasn't as tall as my daily driver, but I hit a clearance 7' sign pretty good once in a parking garage I frequent in the DD.
I actually got out and measured the height of the sign to the ground and it was 6'9". Not 7' as one would expect.

I've learned to use the antenna on the DD as a gauge. If I hit less than the top 1/2" of the antenna, I'm good. Anything below that and I won't make it (yeah, I don't mind a right fit) .

Perhaps the better question is at what height is your antenna from the ground when the truck is sitting on level ground? That will give a better idea of vehicle height with different tire/suspension combos.

 

I wish I could help you with that. I would have included a measurement, but i'm in the middle East and don't know it off the top of my head.

 

Last summer we parked in the Hooters Casino and Resort garage and my '08 was inches from some of the low spots using stock tires/suspension.

I avoid them where I can, or have the wife or one of the boys hop out and use them as a "ground guide".

(The .MIL types know what I'm talking about)

have 84k on the clock i didn't go with spacers to level the truck tho i changed the whole springs them self out and i do have a add-a-leaf spring in the back

 

Do not listen to the signs. I went to a shopping mall and the signs are different than the pipe hanging down before you go under. Scrapped the crap out of the top of my truck. No lift just the little tire difference. Now with new Dodge 988 springs, I'll never go into another garage again.

Oh, the 988 springs are basically a leveling spring from Dodge. They are about 1" shorter but once installed, the truck sits about 1 or 2" higher. Firmer spring. Much thicker coils. Those and the 5100 shocks made the truck ride soooo much better. I'm not hitting the bump stops at every speed bump. I did that and the newer steering at the same time. Like a new truck.
