I was going to say similar. 6'3 here. I have to ask though - how high do you guys sit in the thing. I notice when ever I drive someone else's truck - F150, or Ram, etc- people have their seat jacked all the way up and then up next to the steering wheel. even when I move the seat back I feel like I'm sitting on top of a chuckwagon. now admittedly most of my vehicles of choice are sporty cars. But I find I run it back most or all of the way (I think I'm maybe an inch forward of the rear stop on the F150), and I run the seat back down, with a touch of bottom seat tilt - nice and comfortable. I can even use the factory arm rest - it is level with the console.

not quite what I was getting at, sorry to sound so negative. I mean I know there's a need for something like this for some people. One size doesn't fit all I work with aircraft and the amount of adjustablity in an aircraft seat is rather impressive compared the way cars are made.
My question is mostly to the rest of the crew do most people find they have their seats up high.
my dad sits like this and your product might work for him because of that but he's not complained about the arm rest as of yet.

Now I'm not looking over the corners of the hood for reference points and honestly I can get in and out a bit easier too. Just curious.

So, i'm an idiot, despite doing all the necessary research to buy the vehicle and get the front end stuff I managed to hit the wrong selection for the year specific model I needed. Despite knowing I needed to do this, somehow I missed it ans assumed I mush have either hit it correctly or an autofill had taken care of it. Sorry, I am sending this one back, I look forward to the correct one though, this one is the right height, it is just too far forward and covers the questionably placed door handle.
Charge me what you need too.

Well, it's a function over form kind of thing. I dare you to find a product that provides the same level of support and armrest real estate and looks considerably sleeker. It's just not possible to make it look nicer without sacrificing height and armrest real estate you're getting.
I know some people use rolled towels of tape cushions to the armrest. I not sure if, compared to that, SnapRest would still be "ugly".
But hey - if you don't need it for comfort, no point in getting it. It's to make driving more comfortable. If Ford got it right for your build/height - great. But most people have complaints about that factory door armrest, and that's where we come in.
