Default how tall is crew cab sport, including roof mount antenna?

My work parking garage lists a height limit of 6'6", not sure if they are factoring approach angles and ramp inclines. How tall is a crew cab sport if it has those roof mounted antennas (I think for sat radio)?

They are tall and if you have a tonneau a pain to wash the roof, we made a pole with a microfibre wash mitt on it, seems to work, Big truck that is all I can say, They makeing parking spots for toys.

I saw those numbers on the Dodge website, but wasn't sure if that included the Sirius antenna. Anyone have a measuring tape and a 4x2 crew that can give me a real world number? Thanks

my quad cab sprt 4x4 with 20's fits in a parking garage with 6'6" limits.... barely.. but you should be fine.

really all you have to do is go to the lot, use a 2 ft level set it on top of the sat antenna, measure down to the ground. you should be good.. (just remember to measure to the bottom of the level...) lol

6'6" should make it.

I would have to look, but I bet the antenna is not the high point, that will be dead center rear part of the cab as the top arches up fron the sides a little and the antenna is fairly flat/short.

Hello,

I have a question, what size tire do you have on you dodge ram 1500 sport? You stated your truck sets at 6'9" have you installed a leveling kit or larger tires?

It sure seems taller than that, but I guess I am just short. I work with a guy that is 6'4", I am making him stand next to my truck tomorrow. We shall see.
