drop down wheels and they come in all sorts of bolt hole configerations. They are used for caravans with the same problem and yes I have some for sale.

It's a dangerous game doing something temporary to get your truck into the garage. The day you forget to do your necessary mods to get in or out of the garage with be the day you wreck your garage door... or worse your truck. However, my air portable RL has factory fitted angle brackets fitted to the side of the chassis over the springs which enabled clamps to be fitted to compress the springs (so that it could fit into the appropriate plane). Perhaps some sort of spring compression tool could be fabricated to load up your springs... or maybe just loas the back of the truck up with a bunch of sandbags?

Have you considered detaching the roof and moving back and down?

Robert.
I think the key is how frequently are you expecting to go in and out of your garage. If a lot, then best leave the vehicle alone and look at options for the garage. Really only two options, lower the floor or raise the door header. Either of these options will likely end up with the added expense of a special order sized new door for the garage, however, lowering the floor greatly increases the risk of flooding your garage should you experience heavy rains or quick snow melts in your area.

Hi Robert
Had the same problem when I got my HUP many moons ago, my solution was add a garage bay that was taller. Only problem was that a few years later I got a 3 ton C60S which would not fit in the new garage bay with the cab top on. Solution well you can guess. Glad I have an understanding wife. If getting it into the garage is a limited solution, do you have any wheel rims which are not good enough condition to mount tires on? Keep us posted on how it works. Cheers Phil
