4" frankenlift, 35" Interco tires, no roof rack. I usually have no problem with at least 6'10" of clearance. However, 6'10" only gives about 1/2" or less between my rig and the ceiling in parkades.

4" slee on 38's no longer fits in my garage.
2.5" OME lift w/33's...fortunately, my nearest pkng structure is 150 miles away, and the one I use most is 300 miles from me, but when I do use a structure that says "6'6" max, which seems to be as tight as they get, I brush the PVC clearance pipe "gently" with my port installed roof rack (as I duck), but have never scraped any fire suppression pipes, ducting, or other "low hanging fruit".
But I don't catch big air over the speed bumps either.

With my parking garage at work it is not the fitting in that doesn't work it is the getting in. I have the OME heavies and tires slightly larger than 33's (basically 33's). The 80 fits in the structure fine but the gate does not know it is there and will not open.
Some gates have magnetic sensors, not weight sensors. What happens is if you have a lot of clearance underneath it does not sense a vehicle present and will not open no matter how you swipe your access badges etc.
I have other vehicles that I drive to work most of the time. If I drive the 80 I just park in the other outdoor parking areas.

when that happened at some stoplights with my bike, I gave the monitoring agency a call and they readjusted the settings.
Yeah.
Yeah, our garage does not allow bikes so I guess they keep it adjusted as such. I had a co-worker with a lifter wrangler and he had the same problem. He talked to them and they wouldn't adjust it, maybe due to the bike rule. It has been that way since they designed and built the new building and garage about 8 years ago or so.
There is one motor-cycle that parks in there from time to time. I guess he squeezes between the end of the gate and the side of the entrance. Looks like there is room.

Yeah, I was thinking that must be one insensitive sensor. Usually that straight-6 block is a big enuf chunk o' iron to set off any sensor, so usually it's not a matter of not being spotted quite right in relation to the sensor like it is sometimes with bikes and some smaller vehicles

All I used to do was lean the bike over about 15 degrees and it would trip the sensors.
6 inch lift, 35's, rack with standup kayak carrier....parking structures?... forget-a-bout-it!
