Default Will my DII still fit in my garage with a Roof Rack?

I found a rack online that a guy had on a DI, then he had it on a DII. He says it is 17" high. I just took a tape and checked my truck in the garage door and I don't think it will fit. It is a stock DII and a normal 9' x 7' garage door. I am pretty sure it is a LR rack, buddy said he paid a lot for it. It is 6' wide, 7.5' long and 17" high, his measurements. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Not knowing how much your old suspension has dropped, and it can be up to 1.5 inches, you won't know till you try it.
What brand of rack is it and how much is he asking?

Not sure about the suspension, Mike. I put new shocks on about 4 mos ago and 1 new air bag 1 month ago. Here is the link for the rack.

Unrelated, always change your air bags in sets, now you have an old one fighting to keep up with the new one.

It will not fit in your garage or parking ramps either.

Concur Spike and Mike...

Also, I only have a few inches clearance with my cross-bars alone...I guarantee you won't fit in many parking garages!

But the roof rack is awesome...

17 inches high, but in order to get an accurate height of the rack once installed in your car you must take the measurement from the windows rails. I think you will add about 8 to 12 inches to the total height of the car. That is a lot less than 17.
