Our L300 is about 2 inches too tall for the garage door. The support beam is 7'8" and it will not be a problem for our L300 with the flat deck rack. I am planning to increase the door height next year.

Why did we rush to get all our vehicles inside? It's -12 C outside and it has been snowing and freezing raining since last Friday.
Driving to and from work is like driving on Harrison West in December.

A 7' door is a bit of a challenge. It's a good idea to check carefully if it's tight. Mine was fine before the lift ( almost an inch to spare ) and with reduced air pressure I measured almost 3” so I was sure I would have an easy time of it when I ordered and installed one of Jessie's 2” lifts. I only recently tried to put my van in the garage after I removed the boat loader. I had to reduce the pressure in the rear tires to 5# to get in. I measured the rear step height and thought a few 85# Allen blocks would do the trick. I added 6 and still had to reduce the tire pressure , stand on the rear bumper and have someone drive it in or add my 2 RV batteries. Under either scenario I'm now back to my 1/2” clearance. Interesting to note the highest spot is @ a point between the Crystal Lite windows about 30” from the rear. I really don't think bigger tires are in my future if I want to use my garage on a regular basis.

Don't leave the front sunroof open while driving into the garage!
