1500 Laramie Sport, ORP, need 6'8" clearance

[reb0957]

I travel to downtown Houston a lot and my life will be a whole lot easier if I can maintain 6' 8" parking garage clearance. Anyone have this same dilemma? If so, what is your set up? What would you recommend?
I don't want a spacer. That would leave Bilsteins or Fox
Tire Size
I would also like to keep the majority of the factory rake.
Thanks!

It may be helpful to add how high your current setup is at the shark fin (as there seems to be a little variation truck to truck), and how much lower than the 6'8" you would want to be.

Just in case, for example you only have 2 inches to play with between current height and max height you want to be, then people can chime in on a few tire/suspension combos to achieve the 2 inches.

I too park at a 6’8” parking garage daily
And because of that I decided I wasn’t going to mess with levels/lifts or bigger rubber

All I did was swap stock tires with something more aggressive looking - and much better handling and more practical

Long story short, I am limited to using one arm at the moment. I am getting 79" but I can't measure directly to the sharkfin because of that brace between the bed and cab. I did measure my ceiling in the garage then the ceiling to the sharkfin to obtain 79" height. Does this sound right? Hard to believe this truck is taller than my 2016 after it was leveled with larger tires. And these tires are smaller than 2016 stock!

I attempted to enter a parking garage with a 6'9" clearance and probably only had a couple mm to the glass of my sunroof diving under the clearance marker. I backed out. Specs in the signature. At 6'8" I would probably leave it stock. 33" tires at the most

Yup those are it.
