How do I make my DCLB shorter?

So I'm about to move into a new place and the garage is 17'9" whereas the the DCLB says it's 18'3"......are there any bumpers that can help me lose half an inch?

Leaving the original to show everyone I'm dumb, but I realized it's not half an inch and it's going to be a more difficult task than I thought (i.e. impossible). Looks like I'll be turning my side of the garage into a workshop which will make me just as happy. I need a lot of room since I seem to always cut the wood wrong and have a lot of scrap. I think my rulers must be broken.

 

Time to trade it in for a DCSB!

 

Bump out?

 

You're going to need more than that I'm guessing. The supports on garage door will decrease the size also unless you measured with the door closed. I've got 3 feet extra in the front and 2 feet in the rear in my garage and often wish I had more.

 

not sure 18' 2.5 " will be any better. Time for an access cab.

 

How does losing half an inch help when your truck is at least 6 inches too long? Change the garage or change the truck, but you aren’t going to fit it by merely changing the bumper especially since many aftermarket bumpers are actually bigger than stock. Sounds like she’s going to be parking in the garage. Don’t feel bad I have to park mine in a massive storage unit because mine doesn’t fit length or height wise. Sounds like a personal problem I know

 

I am thinking he meant half a foot.

 

Haven't actually seen the place yet. Moving from Austin to Denver and the GF got this place before I even thought about garages could be an issue.

 

Am I wrong? I looked up the specs of the truck and it said the longest was 226". That should come out to 18'3", or just a tad too long. I guess I'll see when I get out there.

 

Guess she planned on parking in the garage!

 

Guess you’ll be parking in the driveway

 

Not wrong. But your initial post says half an inch. You need half a foot, we know what you mean. Good luck. I hope someone has a good solution.

 

Garages are for motorcycles and toys, trucks park outside.

 

Doh! Now I realize my bad math....yup almost half a foot

 

6”?

 

Math is hard

 

Are you buying or renting this place in Denver? It'll be easier to just modify the garage (unless you don't own it, of course).

 

Lose the door.
