    I'm wondering what the average overhead clearance height is for people who've lifted their trucks the full 3 inches or more. I didn't see many threads that answered this question as most people are measuring their hub to fender distances.

    At work, I have to park in a covered parking garage and there is no other alternative. The minimum clearance height is 6' 4"...I kinda half assed measuring my truck's stock height with the Duratracs that I put on it and to the top of the XM sharkfin I think i'm just at about 6' 2"...but it could be 6' even...

    Just for information sake, I was thinking about going with Icon's front and rear at full lift with Dakar leafs in the rear. Hopefully there's some people out there with my exact scenario ('13 Sport DCLB, 17" wheels with 265/70/17 Duratracs) who will be able to give me some measurements.

    I am close.

    2011 DCSB

    OME Dakars in rear, OME 885's front without spacer so 2.5" lift.

    265/70/17 general grabbers

    My parking garage is max height of 6'4" and I clear it with about 2-3". I will likely be throwing on an OEM roof rack and still have an inch.

    I would worry about the shark fin, that will be your problem.

    Also, remember the center of your roof is 1-2" higher than the sides so be careful what you measure.

    ^^^ Awesome, thanks for the info! :thumbsup: Maybe I could just change out the sharkfin for a different XM antenna? Wonder how much of a pain in the ass that would be.

    6'4" to the top of the sharkfin. The truck has ironman 2.5 lift and 275/70/17s. If you are within an inch or two of the max clearance be careful with speed bumps in the garage.
