I have a 2.25" level and 33.2" tires and I clear my 7 foot garage door by a bit. (4-5")

Might be close... Factory height around 77", tires & level add around 3", so that's 80" = 6' 8".

If you have a factory antenna, and it clears the garage, your truck should clear with level & tires, since the antenna is probably at least 3" higher than the roof of your truck. Your antenna may make contact though, but that can be trimmed, or left as an overhead clearance warning device.

But to be honest, getting the tape measure out and taking some careful measurements would probably be the best way...

I have a 2020 FX4 with a readylift 1.5”, 275/65/20 BFG 34’s on factory rims. Left factory rear block in. I sit 40” up front & 41” in rear (ground to bottom of fender).

I had the concern about parking garages. I measured from ground to top of shark fin antenna using a level and top is right at 6’6.5”. I have parked in many parking garages since this setup with no issue. I did replace factory radio antenna with a 13” antenna but did that for it would not hit my 7’ garage every time I pull in or out. I always make sure I check the heights of the parking garages before I attempt to pull in. Most I have gone in are 7’ but some are 6’8” which I have parked in those as well.

I have the Fox 2.0 Roush kit installed with 275/65R20 (34”) and I have approx. 1-1/2” clearance with my 6’8” work garage. That said you should have no problems with 6’10” on 33’s.

I’m actually surprised that you have that much room, but really the math says you’d have gained a total of 4 inches in height. I didn’t think this type of setup would fit in my garage, but maybe it’ll work.

Are you not clearing the bottom of the open garage door? You can always change the up limit on your door. My truck stock barely fit until I did that. Now I should be able to clear with a level and 33”s.

I actually would make contact with the wood, exterior of the house, before I'd make it to the door. TBH, it might barely squeeze through, but it's so close I'm afraid the suspension bounce will cause contact.
