Is this garage cliff going to be a problem?

It depends on the drainage in the lot. If the elevation of the centerline of your parking lot is higher than the elevation right in front of your garage, you will have problems. If it is lower, you will be fine.

I've seen it both ways, all over the country. It just depends on how the engineer designed the drainage. Hopefully they designed everything to drain to the center of the parking lot.

I'm 99.4187% sure he's not concerned about drainage.

You'll be perfectly fine. Used to live with my parents and kept the car garage parked. Drove in & out nearly every single day, for six years, over a similar 2.5" bump. No issues with the car, outside of both of my lower front control arms going out (appears to be the standard amount of time compared to others in the forums).
Just don't gung-ho it in or out of the garage!

Now that I have the Mustang in my possession it looks like there should be no issues getting over this lip. I never noticed previously how high the front splitter is with the stock suspension.

Not in the least bit. Your car can clear around 6".

Female 6" or male 6" measurement?

Screw the small transition discrepancy….

You better get PPF on the sides of the vehicle before driving it over that unfinished surface…. These S550’s, the paint chips just looking at it…. and driving over that unfinished road surface for a few months will be unforgiving to the sides of the car…

I would put a 2x6 or similar across the front so you can drive up in steps.

I'll put some concrete cement making it lip

You will be absolutely fine getting into and out of the garage.

But for now.... is this going to be an issue getting the Mustang in/out of the garage?

I have to drive across the lawn and then up a similar "cliff" onto the carport slab at my place. I have been doing it for 18 months now with zero issues. Just take it easy. I also have the 20-inch wheel/tire package. The tires don't even deflect when inflated properly. You are going to do this at about 3 mph, not 30, so it's not even like hitting a pothole.
