Default Cart will not clear garage door

I am building a 2005 percedent with 6 inch All sport lift and 23's. It will not clear the garage by about 3 inches. What are my options? Chop the canopy supports?

Lower the roof by cutting the supports or go with a 4 inch lift and smaller rim and tires.

Make sure you check your garage door opener first. I had the same problem until I noticed I still had some up travel left. The door wasn't actually fully opening above the door opening itself. Way easier than chopping the top. Worked for me.

The front clears, the back is the issue. Actually when measuring for the floor to the bottom lip of the top, the back is 2 inches higher. I am going to cut the back struts off at the bottom and lower them. That will give me clearance and level the top.

thanks

Air shocks with a viair compressor (no tank) I have the same issue but with the push of a momentary toggle on the front and rear the shocks release air and down she goes.... clears with no problems. I also set her frame directly on the trailer when hauling for a lower center of gravity.

I reinstalled coil overs on the rear, they are gabriel load carriers. They should have a much smoother ride. The air shocks were a pretty firm ride due to the psi needed for the ride height.
