So does your Raptor fit height wise in your garage?

Garage clearance

I am looking at getting a Raptor and would like to make sure it fits the garage. Length and width should fit with some room. However I am concerned about the height. The spec show the raptor height to be 78". I measured the opening of the garage from the concrete to the lowest part of the door which is just shy of 80" so I have less than 2" of clearance.

Have other owners fit the raptor in garages with similiar clearance?

Thanks

Mine fits in with about 82 inches with a few inches to spare. I'm tighter on the sides

Mine fit. Your should as well. My antenna hit the garage entrance so I got a stubby antenna

Mine as well hits, is the reception better/same as the stock antenna?

I live in the city so I did not notice a difference. I know when I was reading reviews some people said there reception was not as good with the stubby. I like mine and have had no issues

Thanks for the responses. Went and looked at a few today. Surprised a dealer near me had 5 2014 raptors on the lot. But only 2 fx4 both in white I really hate white.
Still trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on a raptor. I have need for a truck and 4wd, just no real need for a raptor. Course who really needs a raptor. My wife did not want to admit it but I could tell she liked the raptor better than the fx4 after seeing them in person.

Oh and do you guys think the spec of 78" height is including the antenna? I could care less if it hits in fact that makes a great feeler for parking garages that may be too low.

Mine stopped fitting in the garage after new front shocks.

It will fit. Just had mine raised to mid-perch and it barely touches the rubber on the garage door now. The rubber piece is exactly 77 1/4 inches above the floor. And btw, you don't need any justification to buy a Raptor. I didn't need one, but I'm sure glad I have it.

Also adjust your garage door opener travel to make it raise as high as possible. I got about 2" more of clearance just doing that.
