Parking Garage Clearance

Anyone know the minimum height for clearance for my truck in a parking garage? It is in the sig and is completely stock, no clearance lights.

Yeah I think they are 6'6''-6'7'' but you need that little bit of extra clearance so you don't hit. You can get a stock one into a 6'8'' garage and that's the shortest I've seen.

I have been in a 6' 9" garage before....but I had to drive around the sprinkler heads.... talk about an optical illusion when you are that close on clearance....

Ditto on the antenna. If it clears the truck will clear and that's with cab lights. The real problem is with my wife in indoor parking denting my right door on concrete pillar.

With my Toyos 315's, I fit within a 7' parking garage without a problem. It does hit the antenae and the first block scares me looking at it, but still have a little clearance. I do have marker lights on top.

Stock suspension.

Stock ones fit in the 6'8'' garage at work all the time.


Dodge's site still has the 07 2500/3500 listed and they have the diminsions of the truck. Pretty sure it's under 6'8''.
