I know of people who have added a tilt column to get more room. Welcome to the machine!

My brother is 6'5" 285. He would have had to do the same in a C/K pickup.


That's why I had those book marked. Give me a good starting point.



If you join the real full size(Suburban). You won't need any of that. We have plenty of room. Lol.
