Original steering column angle

Hey y'all, I'd like to keep my original steering column but I'm just too big to fit well in my truck.(6'3" 300) I tried to shorten the length but that just puts it on my knees, can the column be shifted up to a higher angle? How would that affect thelinkage for my 3ott? I can put in a tilt but I'm trying to keep it as stock as possible.
Thanks in advance

Re: Original steering column angle

I am interested in this also, being of large girth myself. I was going to shorten my steering shaft but also chop the seat brackets about an 1" +/-. Do you think that would help?
