You would probably want to get the taller option then. I dont know that there is
such a thing since they are custom made. What I did was find someone nearby who had
the next ones down and went over and sat in them. I found that they were comfortable
but not padded enough and they pinched in the hips (standard width). So from that I
figured that the more padded seats and the wider ones should work and if not, well, I
was really really screwed. I sat in all the Corbeau seats and there was only one I
found comfortable, however, it was similar to a stock TJ seat, where this has the
"wrap around" too it and the seat sort of cuddles you. It should help on the trails,
where I have come back with my back rubbed raw from being thrown side to side in the
seat all day. Pictures soon...
