Can I lift?

(stock suspension & tires) ...Okay so today I measured from the top of my roof bars to the lowest part of my garage door opening. I have 5 ish inches of clearance to work with. How much would a 2 inch lift with a decent looking AT tire raise the truck? Or what size tire do ya'll think will work? Keeping it garage kept.

I've got a +2" lift and 265/75R16 on Myrtle and she's a little under 6.5 feet tall at the highest part of the roof rack bars
It's still low enough to get in and out of parking garages. I watch people cringe as I drive and barely scraping the roof. lol

Current height + height of lift + 1/2 difference in height of tire = new height. And that will be conservative as you never typically get the full advertised amount from a lift.
