On order

Not sure if this is gonna help but I just ordered my ecodiesel 2-3 weeks ago. Im from East Texas and ordered if from Peters Chevrolet/dodge/any make or model pretty much. Its a 1500 laramie 4x4 and they are going to finance the lift/wheels and tires and it will be covered under warranty. I asked for the exact setup as the truck in the pictures below(coincidentally the same color too). It will have a 4" superlift with billstiens, a pro comp leveling kit running 22x12(Fuel 2 piece black and chrome mavericks)-44 offset with 35x12.5. I didn't get a chance to drive the truck below because they sold it the day I came in but like you, I assume they wouldn't sell a truck and warranty it if the tires rubbed. Does look like they trimmed the frond dam a bit but thats it. They sell LOTS of these lifted trucks out of there so if you wanted to make a 2 1/2 hr drive they could def help you out. As far as the total height of the truck in regards to fitting in a garage, no clue. They do have a sport with the same setup on the lot if you could talk one of the salespeople into going out and measuring it for you. Shoot me a message if you would like my salesperson's name/number.

I have a new home, very much a standard garage, nothing past 4 inches would fit comfortably. I am just clearing it with a level with about 2 inches or so to spare. You guys need to be taking pics of your trucks under the garage door at it's highest point.

I just looked at the black Express they have on their site. That truck has quite a bit of rake to it still. It does look clean though!
But almost $60k for an express?! That's nuts. I know those 22x12 American Force wheels aren't cheap though!

Few questions and I can better assist.

What is your opening dimension height of your garage?
Any track hanging lower than it should?

My truck would fit in my garage if I had the length.
It does not fit now, but would have if I was on 35's

My garage height opening is 83"

When my truck was on 35's and presently with the 6" lift and Bilsteins at 1.4, I had 1/2" to spare till my sat antenna hit something.

It's all relative to your opening and garage height.

Now onto the 20x12 as I wanted to run that too but had to stick with 18x10 as Moto 962s do not come in 20x10 - 24 offset.

I was running 20x10 -24 Rockstars on 35's and I was near rub but still OK.
The 12" wide is obviously 2" wider... And -44 is 3/4" further out than the -24
Split that in half and that's 1.375" further out from what I had.

I could have easily fit that with possibly trimming, but that's easy.
I just wanted to run back on 37's due to my 4.56 gears.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Yeah they are crazy with their tricked truck prices. You can do much better. However, I let them know I was shopping around for the lift, wheels and tires, retrax cover and amp powersteps and they beat what I could have had all that done for at an aftermarket shop and its ALL under warranty. Peters is now one of the biggest dealers in texas for the amp steps and retrax now so each of those accessories were a few hundred cheaper than ebay could sell you just the steps for new. I was able to get out the door for $58,600 for a Laramie 4x4 ecodiesel with the park sensors, autostart with walkup key fobs, 4" superlift with procomp leveling kit, 22x12 fuel hostage wheels with 35x12.5 toyo's, amp steps, retrax cover, tax, title, license and a partridge in a pear tree. I'm happy. The break even point for the diesel for me will be less than a year as I get free diesel from my boss. I've been spending $700-$800 per month filling up my Sierra Denali truck so...
