than the 3''. i was thinking about mounting them flush
If I did it again I think I would go even lower. I used the front centre as the low point and made the floor equal to that point. I think that will gain a couple more inches, but th entire area under the seat would have to be flattened.

Im 6' and I look through the centre of the windsheild, and have about a fist from the top of my head to the headliner with the seats in the lowest position.

Dude, can you explain the "lowest position" Do you have it adjustable in some way?
Or is that factory with the Caddy seats? My 03 seats don't go up and down.

Escalade seats are 6 way power. Up down, back and forth in and out

I know non power seats have no adjustment up and down, but there is less crap under the seat also.
