Options?

1. Eat more.
2. Teflon coat the garage door beam.
3. Sand bags to load down the truck coming in and going out.
4. Drive really fast (downforce will lower truck at least 1/8").
5. Rent concrete saw, remove 1/2" off of door frame (covertly, at night)
6. Paint door lintel same color as truck (paint will swap w/o color marking)
7. Anodize top of truck for wear resistance.
8. Grease truck top.
9. Air down tires to 15 psi for entry (takes forever).


Out of ideas.

Oh, return to stock perch.

That' really good Rep points !

or go with 33" tires, or lower it ?
Did you ever use a tape measure on the plastic tube then put your "go pro" on the roof and drive around to see how close you really are ?
Or I guess you could always do like "Oversize" ****** drivers and mount a pole on the front bumper about 1/2 " above your roof line and if that hits, you better hit the brakes ?
The world was not made for "RAPTORS"

battery operated die grinder or sawzal . Better yet air powered die grinder as this would be a good excuse for the on board air compressor
