Default How much lift with only 7ft garage clearance

My home garage and work parking garage both have 7ft height clearances. As I ponder whether to level or lift my stock 2013, I wonder what the limits are in lifts for 33 and 35 inch tires. I figure I'm safe with a level kit, but wonder what my luck would be with a 4 inch lift. Are there any 3 inch lift kits out there?

I'm running a level and 34.5" tires and it fits in my 7ft garage door.

I'm running a 4" Rancho lift with 285-75-R18 toyo at2s and I still fit in 7' parking structures.

I initially had a level and 34.5" Nitto Trails and fit no problem (was close, but still had a few inches to spare). I was nervous though when stepping up to 4" Rancho lift and 35.5" Nittos but measured it over and over before purchase. I still fit in my standard 7' garage (84") but not by much. The first time pulling in was pretty intense. Had my wife on a step stool watching level with the roof line/garage door to make sure it wasn't going to hit. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here you go haha:

Here is some info that might help:

I had to measure mine last night to see if it would fit in a 7' 6" tall (90") parking garage.

My truck has 35" tires & 6" lift- It was 82" tall (6' 10"). I thought it would be taller than that because when I go under 9' clearances I feel like my top is going to scrape & it looks super close. Apparently I have quite a bit of room after all

So you will be just fine
