Please help me with my measurements!

Ok, so I'm a newbie, and I have read all of the leveling and tire threads about 5 times each.

I have a 2015 Big Horn, all stock, with stock 20" chrome clad wheels, and stock Good Year P275/60/R20 tires. I would love to level it and get a little bigger tires.

My front currently measures 36.25", and the back is 39.0".

I was wanting to install Bils at 2.1", and no spacers in the back. This would get me close to level without going nose high.

I was also wanting to get 295/60/R20 tires.

My concern with all of this is overall height of the truck. Currently (all stock) my truck is 78" tall from the ground to the top of the little stubby antenna on top of the cab. My garage door is 82.5" tall.

Just adding the Bils at 2.1 with the stock tires should be ok, but what happens to my overall height once I add the 295/60/R20 tires to all that?

I don't want to be too tall to fit in my garage. I have about 4" to play with from stock to the garage door max.

Thanks guys!

The stock are 33" and the 295's will be a hair under 34 inches so the tires alone will give about a 1/2" height increase. Not including the level kit.

And keep in mind once the Bilsteins are installed it may be a bit before they settle to the height you set them at.

Also 2.1" front lift does not mean sharkfin height increases 2.1 only front fender, it kinda pivots if you will. It will increase in height some but it's not 1:1

Here's a good install video with measurements

Thanks - I was just thinking that it would most likely only pivot a little, without raising too much. I have seen this video about 3 or 4 times. Its a good one!
