    I'm still trying to picture 6'6" with 4'10" - that's 18".
    The average human leg, from knee to ground, is about 18"... let's see, carry the naught...
    Hmmm, I bet she has clean knees...





    j/k, don't hit me...

    The lift is great, wife has mellowed, 17" ATX black wheels are on order and new 265/70/17 BFG KO's in the garage.

    Once I get the spacer I am going to try to compress the spring in place and raise the perch collar up to 2.5"
