I have a standard height garage with a rollup door, and my '86 Westy
with the lift springs (from Van-Cafe) and 215/70-15's and have plenty of
clearance - well, a inch or two anyway.  As mentioned previously, the
skylight does *not* fit if open.  The resulting CRUNCH! does provide a
good lesson for remembering next time though...haven't done a second
time yet :-)
