Bilstein 5100 - truck measurement

[Paradeedle]

Weird request here. Can anyone with the Bilstein 5100's on a 2014 or 2015 crew cab measure from the ground to the top of their cab(or XM antenna, whichever is tallest). 2.1 or 2.8 does not matter. I have an 81" opening to my garage and am curious if it would still fit.

Measure now and add 2.5 "

You'll fit. My 5" lifted 2014 with 35's is just under 81" lol

You'll fit. I've got my Bils @2.1" and with 285/65/20's I have about 5" or so of clearance from the top of the shark fin before contacting anything!

I just went and measured my truck and I must have some super truck because mine is close to 79" right now to the top of my Sat Antenna

You have the 2500 4x4? Likely the others are measuring 1500's

Hmmmm very weird... I took out and tape and from the ground to rear of cab I have about 82 7/8". That's a 2009 1500 with 3" body lift and leveling kit on stock 20's

Mine is just about 80.5" tall. That's a 2015 CC 4x4 with Bilsteins at 2.8, 1.25" rear coil spacers, and 33.9" tall tires. If you're just going with Bilsteins and nothing else you'll fit.

The antenna is the highest point, and it's toward the rear of the truck, not the front, so the height change isn't equal to what you do in the front.

That is exactly what I was looking for. I think it will be close!

Mines sitting around 86" to the top of the satellite antenna. 6" zone with 5" rear on 305/55/20, bilsteins will be in friday
