Will it fit? 71 Blazer 8" lift on 36" tires, in garage = yes or no

How many of you out their with these, or close-to these specs can drive their truck or blazer in the garage. Im trying to find out if my Blazer will fit in the garage with this lift and tire. The height im my garage is 6'11.5". I think i know the answer to my question (NO) but i just need some feedback because im not sure.

Well, Mine is at 9" with 37" ssr's and it just rubs the ruber weather strip going in the garage. my driveway ahs a bit of a slope to it though so the rear tires are lower as the cab goes in, I used to have a shell on the back, and it would hit unless I aired down my back tires.

No way. Most standard garage doors are 7' I believe.

I lifted my buddies 86 K5 in his two car garage. It only had a 4 inch lift and would BARELY squeeze out with the 33's that were on it and we basically let all the air out. The next day we put 35" BGFs on and it wasn't even close.

I know I'm talking about a different body style, but still, I don't think there is a chance.

Let all the air out and give it a try..or put a 2x4 on the highest part of your truck and mesure...under or at 7' and you'll fit
Mine just rubs the seal on the way in but it fits.
4"front lift & 5.5"rear lift + 3"body lift & 36"(36.8")Irocks on 1ton axels.
