Jesse, I'm 6'4" 295lbs. My seat was always comfortable, but sat too high. These brackets don't really increase leg room, but put your torso in a better position so your legs will bend in a more comfortable and controlled way. If there's a downside, as the seat lowers, it also moves forward slightly, so puts you closer to the wheel, but it's not uncomfortable or awkward. If we can ever meet up, you're more than welcome to sit in the truck and maybe even take it for a short drive to see how mine feels before ordering a set.
