Can you fit in your garage? Do you know how tall it sits to the top of the truck?
Yes, I garage it! I have a 7 ft door and my cab lights clear by about an inch. So i'm about 83" at highest point. I could prob get the tape out today and get more accurate measurements for ya, but those should be pretty close.

If you fit that's good enough for me I think. Lift kit is ordered. Truck most likely will not be stored in garage but be nice to try and install lift in garage since we still have snow here lol

Looks like my garage door is just shy of 7 foot. Got my lift in and measured as I was unloading it looks like I only have about 4in from the antenna to the top of the door :(

Can you adjust the travel on the door any? Or, is it the header?

The header. I have 8ft ceilings tho so may call somebody to see how much it would cost to make it bigger. Would rather have one big door than 2 small ones anyways lol

DOH!! that might cost you a pretty penny. I have 10' ceilings. I can go up a foot, but between new doors, new opener and the cost of construction to reframe the doors ( have 2 doors I'd have to do so it doesn't look stupid), I'm in for about $6000

Ya it gets pricey. I'm only thinking about it cause my roommate hit my garage a few weeks ago. I'm hoping I can get him to turn it into his car insurance instead of me turning it into home insurance. Either way the entire side needs to be replaced so figured if I could get some insurance money to cover part of it now would be the time to convert it to one big door and hopefully in that process it won't be all that much more to add some height to the door. Really wish I had your 10ft ceilings lol

Great looking rigs guys.....and as someone else mentioned, I was also amazed at how good the stock Sport 20's look with a lift. I use them with stock width Duratracs for winter and was second guessing buying the Rockstars with 35's for my summer set.

Anyway, I've got 4" Superlift with 275-65-20 Duratracs and 1.5" Bora spacers.

OK well after seeing this with stock 20's and essentially 34's (the duratracs above) Maybe i will continue with what i was planning...

I currently have stock 20's with 33's and bils set @ 2.8 and 1.5 rear coil spacer.

I was debating if i should wait for 35 or 34's to install zone 1.5 body lift but after seeing the pics above i think it would look ok..

here is my set up now:

Outdoor, I'm in the same boat. I'll have the same setup you do, but CFO says I have to wait on tires. When I do, I'd like to run 35x12.5 on my stock rims. bottom pic is after mods and Bils installed. Spacers are in the box waiting for time to install them

Yeah Shadow, are you planning the 1.5" zone body lift also?
Thats where i am really stuck... LOL its hard to tell if it will look funny with stock 33's....
the guy i quoted above was running 34's with 1.5' body lift and a level i believe, so not quite same as my bils are at 2.8

i have a feeling it will look fine... but i am going to order the carven progressive first LOL

The body lift is on the wish list. We'll see how things go. Maybe I'll add it when I add tires.
