New member, first time poster. I got my p1000 this weekend, 30” tires and 3” lift and now it won’t fit in garage without letting all the air out of the tires. Can I ratchet strap the shocks to compress them and lower it by 2-3 inches? Has anyone done it?

No but I'm gonna be in the same boat in a few weeks when I install my arms and 30s. Mine rubs the top going in now with 28s.

Removal of the Honda roof has bought users some room. Air down and suspension straps have also been used. Tire swaps with a battery impact have been suggested. Plenty of options to make it work depending on how much effort you want to put in.

Thanks for the tips, all of them sound easier than notching out the top of my garage which was plan b.

Welcome to the forum from Louisiana. That is a problem to be solved for sure. Good luck.
