height question

[67shawnw]

I just put a rough country 2,5 leveling kit in front and 1.25 lift in back of my 2017 ram 2500. I have 295 70 18 tires to put on but my garage door opening is only 7 ft. Does anyone have the same setup and fit in a 7 foot garage door?

I don’t have that same setup, but my stock 2500 only has 2” to spare on my 7’ garage door. A lot of it has to do with the angle of your driveway... Have you tried pulling it in before the mods?

Not yet but when i do lift it (same truck, same tires) I'll have the same problem. 7' door. Plus a slight uphill to the door. Could be a gotcha moment when I cave in the roof 'cause of that.

Not 1st, 2nd or 3rd? No Trophy!

You will be within an inch or so... my powerwagon with no additional lift literally has an inch... one of the parking structures once used has a 7ft bar...

with my 34tires i think I'll be touching next i swing through one...

the pw has a 2inch factory lift so you will be very close if not too high...

I have a similar setup on my 2016 2500 (see signature). I just went and measured my truck, and it looks like you might barely sneak in under 7 feet or be right there. My 35's have an actual height of 34.5", so make sure you compare that to the actual height of your new tires and adjust accordingly.

On my truck, the roof of the truck looks to be an inch or two under 7 feet, but the Sirius shark antenna might scrape by.

I have an 8 foot garage door, so I don't have to worry about the height. On a side note...I was pleasantly surprised at how many automatic car washes can accomadate vehicles over 7 feet. We got pretty salty roads here in Iowa throughout the winter, so I like to give her a quick bath every so often.

I went out and measured it. i think I will make it in with the tires. I ordered a topper for it also and I think it might hit it the back. My truck is 2" higher in the back of the bed than the front.

Automatic car washes are a bad idea... when I first got my truck, before I even had 1,000 miles on it my wife took it through the automatic car wash. Something scratched 2 vertical identical lines down to bare metal in the tail gate. Car wash place basically told me to pound sand. The manager advised me that the things they find on the brushes from people leaving stuff in their beds is unreal. He said week prior a farmer left barb wire. That’s my experience and I will never drive a vehicle I care about through a automated car wash again.

Touchless man... gotta go touchless. A good undercarriage spray on the way in, spray soap on, rinse, blow dry. Done! Never an issue.

Ahhh - ya they didn’t have that where we used to live, gotta see if they have it here
