Will I fit after perch adjustment

WannaRaptor62 · Nov 15, 2011

This is a photo of my Raptor at stock height with stock wheels and tires going in to a parking garage that I must park in daily. It is hard to tell, but the driveway in to the garage is at an extreme angle. Do you think I will fit if I move to the middle perch adjustment? How about if I moved to the middle and added 35" Grabbers?

Grabbers would only do you worse because they're true 35" compared to the BFG's that are 34.5"... I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong but this is my understanding.

Nope, you're right humvee.

Depending on air pressure, of course...

But the 35 will only be 1/4" taller. However the perch adjustment will probably be about 2"+. Has anyone measured the difference from fender to ground before and after?

Several have. Middle is about 1 1/2 inch taller at the front wheels. The cab is approximately half way between the front and rear axle so it would position the cab approximately 3/4 inch higher than stock.

About 2 1/2" to the top perch.

Not sure about the middle...

There are people out here with the perch and grabbers. Stop being lazy and go measure your truck!

Madcow, I bet you don't want to think about perches for awhile after last weekend....

I am at middle perch and fit in my parking garage at 6'8. Others are middle perch with General Grabbers and fit in 6'8.

The middle perch will raise the front about 1 3/4 and the back of the cab (pivot point) will raise about 1/2 inch or so.

Here is me going into 6'8 with stock tires and middle perch. However, there is an incline that they did not account for. In a true 6'8 garage I have about 1/2" clearance. That means that with Grabbers it will be very close....if the garage is actually 6'8.
