When I got my new truck, I found it was too long for my garage by about 3 inches. In the front of my garage, there is an elevated lip that is about two feet wide and two inches tall. If I could cut into the lip a few inches, my truck would fit without problem. Would there be any harm to the garage in doing this? What kind of company or person would I call to do this? Would it be very expensive?

Why not pull up on to the elevated part? Much cheaper and easier.

If your front tires are hitting on it then back in and you should be good to go.

Yeah, that too.

There is usually nothing more in that curb but more concrete.

If a person wanted to, they could just make some cuts.

Caution, this will be ugly, awful work.

What is tempting is to just lay a 2x6 across the front of the lip, and use that to mark off the portion to be removed.

Resist this temptation.

Instead, use a 2x to scribe the inside width of the truck tires. Then mark off 5-1/2" across.

You then need a cheap circular saw for which you have little attraction or history with; barring that, a cheap one from pawn shop or HF.

You want a masonry blade--not diamond--(I'd get 3-6 of the cheapest you can find, you re using them to destruction) to fit that saw.

Cut (this will be messy and awful) the marked lines as deep as the saw goes. if the saw does not die and/or you still have blades left, score within the to-be-removed area to make 1-2" slices.

Rent an electric "jack" hammer.

Start at the outside, and carefully us the wide blade on the hammer to knock 1-2" wide bits off.
Take small "bites" and check the depth as you go.

This will be a great deal of work for the 8-12" wide 5-5.5" long 3-3.5" deep cuts. This is where you will appreciate the not committing to knocking 5" off the whole 8-9' long edge.

If you are really OCD, you'll need to figure on some time in kneepads with a concrete chisel and a 4# hand sledge.

What a person could do, instead, would be to get a treated 2x about 8' long, and fasten it the to the garage floor about 6" past the lip, so that you have a stop after the stop. A bit of 2x8 or 2x10 tapered on a band saw could be tapcon-ed in front of the lip in the garage, too.

With "ramps" in place, I'd be inclined to make an "L" of 2 2x to use as a stop. That's me, though; others differ.

Yeah that. Or you could knock out the wall from between your garage and your house and just park partially in your house.

Just drive up on the lip.

Why not just back in? You should have more clearance from the back of the truck to your rear tires. That's what I have to do.

Or maybe I'm just not understanding the problem.

Ah, some here may not have seen some of the tract-builder houses where the concrete lip can be 3 or 4" tall.

With the 1" lip in many places, all that is really needed is a tire stop on the floor, or one of those LED "you are in far enough" gizmos.

Not all driveways (nor garages) are suitable for backing in a LWB truck, too.

Ask on the auto board. Someone there had cut the sheetrock in order to fit their truck. I can't remember who.

1Ags cutout a bumper opening in the back wall.

have the same problem in the house I'm renting unless I back in. so I back in.

Easily swallows a F150 4x4


Also fits a F250 CrewCab 4x4, yo....

Before my Titan got booted from the garage, the only way it fit was to back in, but it easily fit doing it that way.
