Default Houston parking garages and leveling kits

I am wanting to purchase a leveling kit and throw a set of 295s on. But I am worried about being able to get in and out of the downtown Houston parking garages. Does anyone have a problem doing with the garages?

I think the max height on most is 6' 6". I know my antenna usually hits and my truck has stock 18" rims with 65 series tires. Is parking in an out door lot an option?

I have a 2wd, 3" susp. lift, 3" body lift, and I need atleast 6'10" (that garage said 6'8", was fine goin in, not so good coming out). I'm also runnin 35's. thanks for infuriating me again jk. Hope this helps.

All I can say is cardboard test in your driveway for height clearance. I cant even get my truck into my OWN garage. Like 1". Grrrrr. Oh well, time to build a carport...

The terminal c garage at the airport is 6'6" as well, I can't fit in it but the rest of the terminal entrances are 7' so getting in those is no problem. I'm also 2wd with 4.5" of lift on 33's
