Get yourself a portable air compressor that will inflate your tires. Let air out of the tires to lower the truck then air them back up when you leave.

My wife has never driven my truck in the three years that I have had it. It may be time!

use your antenna to measure to. if it hits don't go in, i have pulled in a garage that i had clearance for. half way in the joint material between the concrete was hanging down 4-5". drive slow and hope there are no speed breakers to go over.

Also, if you back into a spot, and have a cap/ topper, be careful if there are fire suppression pipes near the wall... Took my wife's truck one day, and backed into my normal spot.....damn!!!!! It hit just enough to scrape the clear coat on the cap! If it had a full tank of fuel, probably would have had a couple thousandths of an inch clearance.....

I was in one with 6' 8" clearance with my stock height 2013. Clearance was OK but my antenna was banging off everything. Made a terrible racket.

I had 275/65R20's on my last truck with a 2.5" level and 3" rear block and cleared every ramp I ever took it in by several inches. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Hmm... my garage is 6' 11" but there are signs that hang down about 4" lower in some spots. I think the next F-150 should have sensors mounted to the roof.
