PW on 35's fits in a 7' garage. Not much clearance, but it fits.
Assuming you’re talking about a garage at a house, not like a public parking garage? Curious what PSI you run to get them to fit.

My garage door opening is just about 87” to the weather stripping and at 50 PSI on the stock tires, the shark fin antenna hits the weatherstrip. I’m definitely going 35” when these wear out, I’m just curious about PSI. Thanks!

Yes, not a public garage. I run 50 psi as well, and it doesn't even hit the weatherstrip. Which is approximately 84" or 7' up.

It also depends on the slope of your driveway. If it's sloped downward, then the rear wheels will be elevated when driving into the garage, that can certainly make up a few inches.
Mine's slightly upward, so no issues there.

RAM lists the Exterior body height on stock tires as 80.9". Not sure if they count the sharkfin antenna or not.

That’s right, I was thinking about this the wrong way. I thought I should have a couple inches of clearance based on the stock height of 80.9 because my garage is 83” at the weather strip, 84" without the weatherstrip.

However, about 7 inches inside the garage entry, the floor sits 2” higher. That is why I have that issue.

Correct, if your garage floor slopes up, it has the same effect as if the driveway slopes down. Makes sense.

All attached garage floors have a drainage grade.

Detached or shop could go either way depending on design and who built it (builder or homeowner.)

Would make sense, yes. Although ours is an attached garage, and by the feel of it I don't think the floor has a grade at all. Might need to get the laser-leveler out, but can't be much along the 20-something-foot length.

Our house in SC didn’t have it. This one in Ga does. It’s not gradual, it’s a lip.
