A question about the extended frame, does anyone know if a 5'8 person will have a hard time reaching the pedals on the extended frame? I think I would like the look of the a longer frame than shorter, but maybe i need to see one in person.

It really depends on many factors. If you go with all DF provided parts, it might be a reach. We utilized the donor sliders and have all kinds of adjustment. You might be able to redrill the DF brackets to move the seat forward. I also noticed the first Corbeau seats we had were built with really high padding under the legs and caused your knees to be really high and we had to move the seat forward. The new seats we have don't have this and now we have more room and can move them back some.

Bottom line, if you like the extended, go for it. You can customize the seats around it to fit you. But if you don't want to deviate from the kit, it might be a stretch for you.

Ok that decided it for me, ill stick to the regular frame. I wanna build this out as normalish as possible with just motor mods down the line. not gonna lie I was thinking why would anyone want the A/T version but **** its looking pretty tempting right now after i finish this build lol.
