Stock height?

I know this is a stupid question. And I swear I did search and after about 20 pages, I hadn't found it.

Parking at work just went byebye for many here, me included. This leaves one option for parking close to work otherwise its metro time. Issue is the parking garage is 6'6" clearance. I've found a couple measurements online that list my truck just under that stock, but not more than an inch or so. Before I pay the monthly rate i was curious if anyone knew factory heights.

I have a 03 2500 4x4 Quad cab with the Diesel (if it matters). Hell its still wearing stock spec tires (BFG all terrain). Thanks for the help.

I'd say you'll make it no problem.

I just measured my truck,even with tires 2" taller than stock it still measured just under 6'6".

Thanks. Everything I'm running across is listing stock height at 78.4 (6'5" and some change). 6'6" would be 79.2.

Not a lot of room for play.

EDIT: now a guy I work with is saying his 03 Yukon Denali just barely clears. Looked up ts specs and its 76.5". . Guess I'll have to drive it over there and get it stuck.

Uh be very careful to make sure that the entrance minimum does not get lower the farther in you go. Went into a spiral down parking garage with 6'9" clearance, everything fine. Halfway down it changed to 6'3" and I had $1500 roof damage before I got out.

Man how'd you resist the urge to throw it in reverse.

I'm going to drive over there after work and see. I'm hearing there is a back entrance with a ramp to the room. Not the most ideal parking arrangment, but I'm running out of options.

I claim brain damage that day. Started down the sprial and came to a cement crossbeam that said 6'3" Clearance. I thought crude that is just about my hieght, slowed way down and crep up to it, looked out window and had about 1/2 inch clearance. There was one more crossbeam going down and the two on the up ramp all at 6'3". I crept through the other going down then started up. Ease passed the first going up, barely clearing. Then thought I had it made, started for the last one a little faster thinking I am good to go. Up ramp angle changed and the truck rared back just as I was getting under the crossbeam. CRUNCH, SCRAPED, ETC.

Here is where the brain dead damage comes into play, a couple minutes of letting air out of the 315s would have dropped an inch easy and I would have been out without a problem.
