    I’m want to put a 6 inch pro Comp lift with 35s on my 2017 tacoma but also need it to fit in my garage. I have about 81 inches of height (definitely going to measure twice more) and was curious what others with a similar set up are sitting at. If you can measure your trucks and offer some answers I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

    It’s a joke from this time I was in New Finland. Not really from the hood unfortunately.

    Well to give you a brief history on what us from the "hood" think of when we hear hoodrat is a female in particular that gets around a bit if you follow me. Used and abused....

    Welcome to TW! If you have a standard garage door then I doubt it would fit with that lift and tire combo.

    Thanks! It’s about 83 inches high so if I can stay at or below 81 it will all work out. Does your truck have a similar package?

    No I have a 2nd gen with a 3" lift on 33s and it's pretty tight pulling into my parent's garage.

    This is the kind of high value information I've come to expect from TW.

    OP- I have more or less a 3" lift on my truck on 33s and its a pretty tight squeeze to get the truck in the garage. You may be able to get a 3" with 35s in there, but I doubt a 6" w/35s would clear.

    I'm on a ~3 inch lift and 33's (2nd gen) and parking garages can be an unnerving. I normally call ahead and check ask their clearance. Generally i don't anything under 78" or 6'6" and then the antenna will scrape on pipes and beams and your watching real close to be sure something doesn't stick down a few inches extra.

    You should be fine with a 6 inch lift and 35's
    Quick search, 2017 tacoma is 71.6 inches tall in tallest configuration.
    + 6 inches for lift
    (35-31)/2 = +2 inches for tires
    or total 72 + 8 is around 80 inches rounding up and then you still have three inches to spare.

    Just know if you ever want to drive into the city or something you will be limited to open lots or taller structures which I already am sometimes with 33's and 3" lift. Just have to pick what works best for you. If you want to go big, do it and you can always figure it out later XD.
