    I'm 6' even and I find it pretty comfortable, although I tend to have the seat back pretty far.

    I'm 5'10", 200# so pretty average sized guy, and it never really feels "right". My '99 Dodge Durango somehow fit me perfectly. I very easily got the few adjustments it had right on and felt comfortable. For me the biggest glaring issue is the driver's door armrest. Needs to be at least 4-5" taller. I'm aware of it every time I drive the truck. I agree with the poster suggesting the @ImMrYo mirror riser adapter. It's a small change that was very noticeable to me. There's an option that the oems could provide that shouldn't be very costly. Mount the mirror in a track that lets it be moved up/down 3".

    I lifted my seats not for comfort, but for the same reason you'd build bunk beds... more room for activities!

    2 audio amplifiers, 2 ham radios, and a 10" sub. Had to mod the seat support and rails, and hammer the floorboards, but it fit.

    It works for me because I'm short. The seats are definitely higher than you'd expect though.

    I still miss the bench seats in all my pre-2000 cars and trucks. Those were the best.

    After 7 plus years and some 2,500 sold I've decided to end my "unexpected" venture.

    TWF, I thank you and Keep on Truck'n.
