Anyone have a garage with a standard height door? Does your truck fit in the garage? My door is 81” and the spec sheet says the Tremor is 79.3”. The measurements say it should fit, but I’m concerned about the tight fit.
 
I have an 81” high garage door and my Tremor just barely fit. If you keep the stock antenna, you will want to remove it when parking.
 
Keep in mind, that’s with the stock suspension. If you level or lift it, then it probably will be too tall.

Had a few requests for a video on my channel about the same question, and I had time to work on it today. Hope this helps!

Whew.. Shavin' it, @UpsideDownIn . Appreciate the video, and well done. I've always gone the tennis ball route for the Mrs, but like that removable curb you've got going on there. Going to be a little bit heartbroken if I can't get the Tremor in the garage - will raise door tomorrow and see what the lip of the door is. Thanks for posting!
 
I have a 2.5 car garage (single large door). The previous owner made shelves on one side so I can only park the Tremor on the .5 side. It freaked me out the first time I tried and was convinced I was going to rip something off. Since I only have my trike on the other side, I found it easier to park at an angle. Honestly, I wouldn't have gotten it if it didn't fit (measured compared to my previous Durango- 2.5 feet longer, 7 inches taller, etc.). If I had the 2 single doors, no way my fat ass would be able to squeeze in an out of it with the walls there.

I measured mine to be 80” tall with a 2.5” level.
 
Mine fits in a standard 7' garage. The antenna did hit but i swapped it out for a stubby.

Can't wait for my new garage to get finished with a 9' tall door and 30'x14' foot print so the wife can have the garage back :P
 
Appreciate this information, as mentioned in a previous post, I'm hoping a level and 34.5" - 35" tires will fit inside an 83" opening.

Side note, some folks keep the fender antenna and use it as an early warning indicator. Depending on the actual height of the antenna, if the antenna hits, the cab will hit. I believe this fender antenna is primarily for AM reception so some folks cut it down to desired height, remove it entirely and cap the threads, get a stubby or keep it and use it as a height indicator before the cab hits.

I replaced mine with a "stubby" and my favorite FM station sounds like crap now.. I'm switching back as soon as I remember before leaving the driveway and cursing the last 10 times it was too late.
