I cut my brackets in the rear and re-welded them two inches lower. This gave me more headroom since I'm 6'4" and have a sunroof. Everyone is different, sitting height and leg length etc. We run into this problem with the training helo we fly, I barely made the sitting height requirement, where other guys 6'4" have no issues with that and bigger issues with leg length, etc.
