I have measured mine and it will fit, but I wont get a spot in the garage. Wife and Daughter gets the garage. I lost that battle years ago, their hair not getting frizzy and them staying dry was just a battle I could not win.
Same here in my world . . . doesn't matter if it fits, I don't get the spot. Ha.

2" level with 34" tires on stock 18" wheels brings the height up to 80"

Fits with room to spare.

If I cleaned out the other half of the garage, I could fit 2 F150s side by side.

And I always back into every location I park for a number of reasons.
Great fit! I love the way you are storing your snow (?) tires while also using them as rubber bumpers.
Thank you so much for this. You're about as close to what I plan to do; 33" tires and 20" wheels...I have a clearance of 80.4", so I likely won't be able to level the truck based on your measurements.



Let's hope it's a perfect fit! haha

Given that your leveled truck will have 33's (vs, Snoshu's 34's), your truck will be ~0.5 shorter than his 80" truck, or 75.5" tall. Since you have 80.4 of clearance, your truck should have ~1.0" to spare, no? :)

This is how I picture my truck fitting. How deep is your garage? Is that a 5.5 ft bed?

Lol that’s when you pull the “Well if it isn’t kept in a garage the warranty will be void story” ?see if they buy it.

Not snow tires. They are the factory/stock tires that I replaced soon after I received my truck. I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do with them. The tires I replaced them with are Toyo AT3's with the 3peak snow rating, and they've performed great in all types of snow.

But you're right, by accidental design they make a great extra layer of protection when backing into my garage.

What's crazy is my wife has a company car and my daughter's car is worth no more than 15k, yet my brand new 70K F150 gets left outside due to their hair.

Screw the happy wife stuff, a non-complaining, non-moody, non- angry daughter makes me much happier.

:ROFLMAO: Yes - It’s time to put the foot down.

FWIW, my teenage daughter’s vehicle will be going outside whenever I get my truck. She’ll get over it.

I guess I'm doing the math wrong. I'm assuming that if he went with 20" tires he'd have a truck at 82" instead of 80" with his 18" wheels.

These #'s can be confusing because they sound the same. The 18" and 20" refer to the wheel (or rim) diameter. The 33" and 34" refer to the outside tire diameter. Since your tires are 33's, the axel sits 0.5" (1/2 the difference in tire diameters) lower than it would on his 34" tires.

Tires/wheels will not fix this though.

Ah! Thank, Madman. Ok. Well that means my truck will fit in my garage. Since I'll have to drive up really close to the wall, I'll need to find something thin but provides some cushion for the truck.

Any suggestions anyone?

Damn. It looks like your about 18" short of making it in.

That is the story of my life. But, I have never been 18" short. No way to make that up with technique!!!
