Deep in that may be too late. Also what Franchi said ramps can be an issue and also here to prevent speed in the lots they have slight speed bumps, something else to consider. If you hit you cant take it back better safe than sorry I say. Also as kydsid said the antenna is a great indicator, however the ramp and angle may skew that.

Want to read something stupid? I drove up to a parking garage entrance the other day. It had one of those overhead U-shaped things as you drive in and as I passed under it, I ducked my head.

I have to go in a 7' parking garage and its a great to see the reaction of people in the cab who aren't used to it.

I was in a 6'7" or 6'9" clearance garage last week and was ok in my fx2, made me nervous though. The antenna is slightly taller than the truck, if the first inch or so of the antenna hits the truck would still clear but be careful for sure

I went through a parking garage at a local mall that I think was 6'7". Nearly crapped myself everytime I passed under a sprinkler line or concrete column (especially because all of them have massive scrapes on them)...I think the clearance was within an inch. My comfort zone is when the antenna doesn't hit the parking garage roof.

Oh, c'mon, people... live on the edge.
Just mount a laser level to the roof line with a cab switch. If you see the red dot on the ceiling... back up.
:-)
Or wait, not a laser... get some LEDs... or some PlastiDip. If the Plastidip scrapes off, you're too close.
I'm merging threads... sorry.
