Would love to run 22s w/37s and still get in my garage. right now I have stock 20" wheels/tires, and have 9-10" clearance betw the cab and the garage.

Was looking at the cst 7" lift (2wd) and getting that the 7" kit is really a 4" lift & level. Can you run 37s with only a 4" lift? if so, guessing overall the cab height only increases 4-5" over stock from the lift itself - is that accurate?

5" lift + 2" from 33 to 37 tires ~ 7" ... so 2-3" garage clearance, cant be that easy, right?

Thought I was good until I measured the oem tire height... spec says 33" found they're 31" at crewcab curb weight w/doorjam psi.

Now I'm wondering if 37s are really 37" tall with hwy/city psi on our trucks? If so I'd scrape... If 2" short like the oems, I'm in.

feel like I'm missing something, any advice?

If it helps.....

I just walked outside and measure the height of my truck which is equipped with a 6 inch lift and 35's. It measured out at 83 inches from the ground to the top of the roof.

thanks, that does help. Mine's 73.5"

website says 74.5 2wd and 75 4wd. looks like lift and 35s gave you 8" overall ...probly means no 37s for me, too close

37's would look badass though! Just build a new garage jk I have to park mine outside with the lift and tires.

I'm severely doubting 37s and 4" lift will work on 2wd. Also as you're mentioning 22s those will have a lot stiffer sidewalls and less flex. Would look sick though. Who needs to fit in a garage? I'm having one built to even accommodate if I ever have a truck on 40s lol
