I also have rave reviews for the RDL. As to how much it raises you that is up to you, custom built to your specs. Mine is over 2 inches up and another 2 plus inches back giving me much more room and less knee bend. I do have good things to say about my Ultimate King on another bike but the King did not move my seating position very much at all on the B, I even visited the factory and did not purchase. Between the RDL, the Helibars and the Mastad the bike is now a long distance traveler with comfort.
