Yeah, knowing your height, sans people, is a must. I used a 4’ level on the highest point (middle of front crossbar) and, making sure the level is level, measured from the underside of the level to the floor. I am at 6’5” and change. I use 6’6” as my height and put a sticker with the height inside the 12 volt cover on the dash. Then you need to decide your tolerance for clearance. I have parked fine in a posted 6’7” garage, but keep your eyes peeled.

I've seen a few parking garages be a little off on their measurements, so having that extra inch or two sure helps!

I had 9" lift on my truck years ago and I cut off the antenna just above the height of the cab :biggrin:

I loved this on my F150...the antenna extended about an inch above the cab, so as long as my antenna cleared I was good. If my antenna scraped, it knew I had a decision to make based on how much I wanted to park in that garage, how late I was running, and how much my insurance deductible was.

We had height issues in DC in 2000 EXP XLT 4wd. The first two it would not fit in.

I have a lifted Durango on a metric tire that is just a hair over a 38 inch tire. It has 5.5 Up Country susp and 6 inch body lift. I couldn't fit it through the local Mike's Car Wash until I took the luggage rack bars off. Then it fit fine.
