in the garage

[bubble874]

Could a 91 ford explorer with a 5.5" lift and 33" tires fit into a garage without scraping the roof. I think all garages are the same height but i just would like to find out.

Probably not but you could always try... Just aim and floor it... If it doesn't fit you'll have the first convertible Explorer on the board...

My Explorer with 5.5 Superlift and 33 MT's stands 6'3'' tall and my garage door is 7'0" high.
I have no problem getting into the garage.
P.S. I don't have a roof rack.

mine fit just fine until I put the conferr roof rack and PIAA lights on top. BY the way, Rick can still fit his in his garage and his is several inches higher then everyones . I had a friend with 5.5" lift, 3" body lift, and 33" tires and he made it in, but barely .

My truck is on the garage all the time. I don't ever have a problem scraping the roof. If you do, just pull the valve stems and drive it out!

what type of gear ratio do you have, i just would like to find out because i am goign to run stock gears and i want to find out how they will do.

just don't try and do some super-high custom lift while parked in the garage! You don't want to be like that one guy... brought his vehicle in the garage installed the lift... but it was so high he couldn't get it out, even after deflating the tires... had to uninstall the lift, take the vehicle out in the driveway then reinstall it, LOL.

I'm running stock 3.73 with LS with a manual trans.
It's not bad unless I'm pulling a trailer up hill.
I hope to change to 4.56 in the near future.

yea, i also have a manual tranny, so i don't really mind what the gear ratio is, but i don't think it would be that bad, and i am not going to be hauling anything, so i guess i will stick with what i have
