Default Parking garage clearance question!

Hey folks. 2004, rancho quicklift, currently running 275 70 18 BFG All Terrains. Considered moving to 295 70 18 nittos. Concerned about parking garages. Now, I am good with 6'7" or taller. Is anyone running the quicklift and 295 70 18 nitto mud terrains and fit in parking garages that are 6'8"?

Check the OD of both tires, divide the difference by 2 and that's how much higher you truck will be. Or am I missing something?

Our parking garage is limited to 6'8" as well. My Ram 2500 fits with no issues and the ground clearance is way more than the F150. I guess the F150 has a taller body as compared to the Ram.
I'm looking at a level kit but I may only be able to do 1".

Good question, and I never really thought about it. I put a 2.5" kit, and 34's, and I know before, my antenna would slap the ceiling going through garages. Makes you nervous, and you kind of just duck, waiting for something bad to happen.
I'll just stay my country *** out of the city, and then I don't have to worry about it. I don't plan on going to Milwaukee, unless my life depends on it.

I'm totally stock except for 1.5" level on front and my antenna scrapes the garage at work but the cab seems to barely squeeze by.

Who doesn't want a F150?

I made a trip to Kansas City and had to park in a parking garage. I know it barely fit with my 2 inch leveling kit and stock tires,never tried it with my 34's. I can't see it fitting though. It was nerve racking with the antenna slaping every beam

I've had a couple in VA I couldn't even fit my stock height 2000 2wd scab in lol. I think it really depends on the area whether or not you'll be good.
