-   -   Clearance height for a 6" lift (http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8004)

I'm trying to figure out the minimum height clearance I need in places like parking decks and drive-thrus. I just want to confirm this in case my math is off.

The stock height of the H2 is 79.2". I'm running 37s, which brings it to 81.2". Add a 6" lift, and we're at 87.2". So minimum clearance I would need is 7' 3.2" in order to keep my roof bars and lights intact.

Does this sound right, or have you guys come across something different when applied to the real world?

Or just cross your fingers and give it some gas

It wont fit thru the drive through at Don & Bens Liquor World...I tried. It wont fit through the drive through at The Beer Barn...I tried. Nor will it fit through the drive through at World of Wine. See a pattern?

When are you installing your kit Stacy? Can't wait to see pics!!
I don't know how mine measures now, I just know it definately does not fit in the garage anymore and I have to hang half out of the damn thing at the bank drive-thru to get the tube in and out? I'm sure I look pretty stupid to the guy next to me!

I thought you would have gotten it lowered.

If you can't fit, that's what you get!

The angle of the road, bumps, etc, can also make a slight difference, so you should always add a couple of inches for margin.

And don't forget incorrect clearance measurements, or like in my parking garage at work, failure to update the measurements after adding a new fire sprinkler system.

I know what your problem is, had that last weekend.. Help, I've fallen and I can't reach my beer

I test drove a hummer a couple weeks ago (don't have one yet). It would not fit into my underground parking without taking off the cross bars on the roof rack I had the salesman on the running board guiding me into my garage until I heard a frantic STOP!!! LOL

No hummer for me, at least until I move to my new place. The garage there is 7"9" clearance.

For James,

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink, I get drunk, I fall down. No problem!!
