Stock Plus vs GOAT Mod: G550 Height & Garage Clearance

One of the most common questions Nothing But G’s gets—sometimes daily—is simple:

“What’s the exact height difference between Stock Plus and GOAT Mod?”
Not in theory. Not in screenshots. In real life—parked side-by-side.

This video answers that question with two trucks positioned next to each other so you can see the difference clearly and make the right call for your garage, your driving style, and your build goals.

The Two Trucks in This Comparison

Stock Plus Truck (2016 G550)

• Platform: Stock Plus suspension

• Tires: 31-inch tires

• Ride height: Slightly taller than factory, but still conservative

• Garage clearance needed: ~79–80 inches

This setup is for owners who want improved ride quality, a subtle stance upgrade, and practicality—especially if you have a tighter garage door opening.

GOAT Mod Truck (2015 G550)

• Package: GOAT Mod

• Lift: 2-inch lift

• Tires: 33-inch tires

• Ride height: Noticeably taller and more aggressive

• Garage clearance needed: ~82 inches

This is the “go play” version—more clearance, more tire, and a stance that looks purpose-built.

The Numbers That Matter: Garage Clearance

Here’s the key takeaway:

• Stock Plus: 79–80 inches of garage clearance recommended

• GOAT Mod: 82 inches of garage clearance recommended

The GOAT Mod truck itself is around 81 inches, but the recommendation is 82 inches so you’re not sweating every time the garage door cycles.

So… How Much Taller Is GOAT Mod?

When you line the two trucks up, the mirrors tell the story:

The GOAT Mod truck sits about ~2 to 2.5 inches higher in real-world stance.

And yes—2.5 inches can be the difference between “fits perfectly” and “absolutely not.” If your garage is tight, you need to know this before you commit.

Which Suspension Package Is Right for You?

Choose Stock Plus if you want:

• Subtle height increase over factory

• Maximum garage friendliness

• Daily-driver comfort and refined stance

• A clean, OEM+ look

Choose GOAT Mod if you want:

• 2-inch lift + 33s for more capability

• A more aggressive stance and presence

• More clearance for trails, snow, and adventure driving

• The “built” look without going full extreme

DIY or Ship Your Truck: Both Options Exist

If you’re the kind of person who likes to wrench (or has a trusted mechanic), both packages can be purchased directly:

• Stock Plus suspension package

• GOAT Mod suspension package

They can be drop-shipped to your door, installed locally, or you can ship your G Wagon to Colorado and have the shop handle logistics, install, and return transport back to your driveway.
