How high is it from the ground to the top of your cab for those with 33s on stock suspension or 6" lift on 35s. Trying to figure out if my truck is going to fit in the garage. I have finally decided to go back to my roots, loud pipes and mudders. Just considering put a small lift on it but not if I cant fit it in the garage to many damn theifs these days.

May be going with a 6" suspension. A buddy of mine has an 00 ecsb Z71 with a 6" fabtech and 35" bfg's and its 6'8" to the top of his cab. My garage is 6'11" I could get 7' out of it if I did a little work to the weather stripping. I want to lift it on up bad.
