Parking Garages....
My new office parking garage says 6 ft 6 inches....
that is 79.2 inches
Just measured my truck at the highest point, 78.5 inches.
less than an inch difference. I cannot find anyone in the bld that knows if that means that 1 spot in the garage is 6.6 or if the entire garage is 6.6. I have been in there before not in my truck and didn't notice any other FX4 F250's.
The issue is, there are only 10 guest parking spots and I can never get one...
What do you guys think?

yeah, last time I was there I walked around the garage a bit with my tape measure. There are two entrances and one of them has one of those bars that says, WARNING 6' 6" clearance ...it must have been hung lower b.c my truck hit it but I was able to back up and get one of the visitor spots...I have to leave my house at 6:30 am in order to get one of those spots then wait for the security folks to arrive.
Funny thing, my wife's EXPY is only 1.5 inches lower than my truck with the factory luggage rack.
We'll see

Feel your pain there RR. I got into a situation last summer in Charleston SC in a parking garage where it started out fine, but then got shorter as you went in. No place to park in first section, not enough room to do anything in there but go straight and no way out, entrance only with spikes. Got to the other end, but only after having let the air pressure in the tires down from 80 to 20, and had to take the 1/2" high Sirius antennea off the roof. That is how tight it was. Thankfully my son was in the bed and keeping me informed.
Also it was a non-manned garage, so I couldn't even b!tch at anyone!

time for a lowering kit
all jokes aside they usually have the sign hanging a little low for "cushion room" but ive been in some tight parking garages before too. One we cleared under the sign with the windstar +cargo box on top and then we were driving hearing a scraping sound, we drug the cargo carrier on every truss in the building
luckily it was only plastic so no real damage done to the vehicle

Our garage at school says 8'2" on the bottom level and 7'-2" on the next levels. If I go up the ramp in my leveled F-150 with stock size tires (32.6) the antenna hits and I use that as a warning to let me know if I am going to hit. Luckily the movable signs hang lower than the concrete so that is some sort of a warning. A classmate has an '08 Harley F-2/350 4wd and it was a few inches from hitting the 7'-2" area, he got really nervous when the antenna scrapped the beams. If that helps any, lol.

I was helping this chick move into a condo a few weeks back and going thru her parking garage to get to the elevator was a PITA. My headache rack cleared by maybe 5-6 inches.....and I'm at stock height.
I couldn't imagine anything lifted even trying to get in there, although there were mostly Benz's, BMW's, Lexus', Audi's, etc. with the exception of a Ram 2500 that looked like it was wedged into it's parking spot.
