6" lift clearance on 2014 FX4

6" lift clearance on 2014 FX4
Trying to see if I can fit the truck in my garage with a 6" lift (unsure of the brand as bilstein doesn't offer an option for 2014. Prob going to do the boss kit from f150lifts.) and 35" tires (Toyo MT).
As of right now, my truck is stock. It has the stock grey 20" rims and the Pirelli scorpion 275x55r20s.
I measured how much room I had from the highest part of the cab to the lip of the garage while open and it measured 7 & 3/4"
This was with an empty tank of gas.
Is there a way to figure out exactly how much lift a kit and those new rims/tires will add?

Well 275 tires = 32 inch diameter = 16 inch radius
35 inch diameter = 17.5 inch radius
17.5 - 16 = 1.5 inches of lift from the tires + ~6 inches of lift from the actual lift
So there abouts 7.5 inches of lift if a 6" lift truly gives 6 inches
And that is a darn tall garage door to have 7 3/4" of clearance above your stock truck. Lucky

Maybe I'm confused, but the bilsteins are leveling struts that will get you about 2.5" of lift and the boss coilovers only go up to around 3". So where exactly are you coming up with a 6" lift?

The Boss kit from F150 lifts only lifts 0-3". Are you looking at the Pro-Comp 6" suspension lift they carry?

How tall is your garage door? I just installed a 6 inch lift on my 2013 and it fits in my garage with about 2 inches of clearance. My lowest point at the opening is 83 inches, just under 7 ft. I test drove a lifted truck first to verify. I installed toyo AT2 35 1250 20. Hope this helps.

Yup, same here. Mine fits fine.
