I fit under the sign, so I knew I was good. Just took it real slow.

Also I think the sign is slightly lower than the ceiling just for wiggle room incase of a bump or something. A way of covering their *** if someone fit under the sign and still hit the ceiling.

Did you have an open bed? And how many free light fixtures fell into the back of your truck as you smashed through them? Hahaha that's hilarious

They never change those height signs unless someone hits something

It was about 5 years ago and truck was my 04 superduty with a stock height and levelling kit. I had my 90 gal "L" tank with tool box in the bed with the rest open. When I got home, I swept out the glass and 1/4 filled a garbage can. I figure I must have smashed a least a couple of hundred tubes. Clearance sign said 7' 6". I think they lied. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. Lol. I was waiting for a bill for all those lights to arrive but nothing ever came.

hmmm. This thread makes me wonder if I should level with bilsteins or not. I put on the craven speed stubby antenna due to my current parking garage at work. The tip of the old antenna was covered in cinder block when I removed it. I'll have to double check later on my way outta here, but I think our garage is 6' 9". All the F150s I have seen in the garage (there are a *ton*) appear to be stock height. ****ty indeed.

2013 RCSB STX 4x4 5.0 stock - Lists at 76" tall according to the screen dump that was provided arlier in the thread.
