Height of truck with a lift?

OK, so I was dead set on a 2"-3" lift ofr my truck which also included 35" tires. Then I realized that I often find my self in parking ramps that have a 7' height limit. Most importantly at the airport. Does anyone know the cab height of a 2"-3" lift with 35" tires form Lorenz, Carli or Thuren. Hopefully it is less than 7' by and inch or two. It seems my stock height is close in some ramps.

I tried this yesterday with 33.8" tires, a 3" lift up front, and 2" in the rear. So a good 5" in front, and 4" in the rear. Just made the 7' parking garage. I got out and measured my truck first.(83" to cab top)
Your restults may vary though. Dodge body builder's site shows the stock measurement being 76.8 to cab top on my year. Add an inch for the Sirius, and my tape measure is calibrated to my eyeball.
On edit: I went back to the site after this, and Dodge gives another vehicle height measurement.......78.9", so results do vary. Their schematic, and charts show different numbers.

i have 3" front 1.5" rear 35 toyo's and made it into a 6'11" garage. also have cablights. i think mine sits 6'10 1/2" it was really close. i just went really slow so if i did hit it wouldnt do much damage. the antenna is a good gauge if it hits your getting pretty close.

I guess I probably shouldn't go with the lift then. Garage has 8' doors but those darn parking ramps at the airport and downtown. Thanks everyone.
