Default Car Wash & Lifted Truck

I guess I've never tried getting my truck washed since I got it lifted and threw some big tires on it.. I have a 6" Zone lift with Nitto Mud grapplers the Extreme kind that are huge 35's, will I fit into the average car wash?

I fit my 96 f250 with a 4in lift and 35s in almost all those touchless washes. Allways took it through those after offroading.

I used to fit my 02 F250 with 8in lift on 37s through the auto bell car wash in mooresville nc all the time. I'm sure there's some I couldn't get in but it's possible depending on where ya go

Ya I saw that but what's a average car wash? There's some to low and some that are tall enough for a 12in lifted truck. Maybe he lives in a city and its all low ones idk but around me there's plenty of tall ones around.

Look at the measurements at the entrance, the one i used to go to had height and width limits, mine doesn't fit width wise since i put on bigger tires and wheels with a +00mm offset. I'm sure it depends from carwash to carwash.
