Well, I have the TRD lowering springs and I can stand under mine and I'm 5'8". The only other problem is that I have a lot of weight in the back of mine too so that brings it down a little more so probably about 5'9"-5'10". I hope this helps.

I've been thinking about shopping for longer dampers/lifters. My wife and I are in the same boat, but we've managed to avoid clouting ourselves on the head so far.

So tell her to "duck". I'm 6'3" and always have to duck. It just comes with the territory.

I checked this also. I'm 6'1 and would crack my skull if I didn't duck. But once you're under the hatch the glass give you a few more inches so it's close.

Im 6'1" and i have never been able to comfortably stand under it, i only missed it by about an inch before, but since lowering her, i have had a few gashes, and bumps, just remembr to tilt the head and bend your knees a little before going in there

I bashed my buddies nose once when I went to close it as he was going back in to get his golf *****. Blood everywhere.

Before I was lowered I would hit my head on it. I am 6'0"
