Awesome! Thanks for the info Rotten. Glad to hear yours fits in the garage. Your truck and another white one on here (can't find his name) with the same wheels have me leaning towards the same set up.

Yeah he's from California. I spoke with him before I did my truck. He's a good guy.

6" ProComp Stage 1 lift replaced ProComp Rear shock with Fox 2.0 shocks. 295/60 R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers with 20" x 9" Moto Metal wheels with -12 offset. 2" wheel spacers in the rear to bring the track width out to match the front. My truck is a four wheel drive.

CJ asked a good question earlier about clearance for his garage, just to reference for anyone else that has similar concerns because I was nervous as well. The clearance I need for my set up is 80".

You're saying your truck fits in the garage? And just to confirm.. Does your truck stand 80" tall with or w/o that OnStar antrnna? Or your garage is 80" high?

I think my garage is 82"... Would be awesome if I could squeeze a 6" lift and 35's in there.

I just need to find someone local with this setup to come drive by my house! Ha

Sorry for clarity. I have an 82" opening in my garage like you do and my truck does indeed fit. With the OnStar antenna I measure 80" so I have a little bit of room yet, perhaps a windshield mounted 50" light bar will take up the rest of that??? Kind of unsettling playing the limbo the very first time, good luck.

Wow! Awesome! Any idea how deep your garage is? Can't remember the depth of mine, but there is a raised portion of concrete in the back. If I get 35's that will make the front stick out closer to the garage door. As of now, the only way I can park my '11 sierra in my garage is backwards. There isn't enough over hang in the front to pull straight in. Have to back in.

I guess I can always let the air out of my tires if bad weather is coming or something.

Just finished the lift on my truck. This isn't the best picture. I'll get some more up after a wash this weekend.

7" inch rough country. I was skeptical of rcx a little. But it went together well and look like its made pretty well. Still rides great too.

Man you must be planning some very serious off-roading.

Well.... Its a half ton IFS truck with 20 inch wheels. I'm obviously not planning on any serious offroading. However, the mud terrain tire and extra ground clearance certainly help quite a bit during the rainy season at my hunting property.

If you don't mind telling us. I Know the lift is 1200 but how much was the install?

DCOX · June 29, 2014

I paid 600 for install, mount and balance and alignment.

What is ur overall height now with the 7" and 35s looking to get one on mine. Can u still use the car wash?

DCOX · June 30, 2014

Its about 82.5 to 83 to the top of the onstar antenna. Not sure about the car wash. Around here they don't like wide tires at the car wash... I'll try it tomorrow and see.
