I'm 6'3" also and have the Ultimate King with driver backrest which replaced the stock seat with a Show Chrome Smart Backrest. I need lower back support more than anything and like the Ultimate backrest better.
I think the Ultimate does drop you down a little but I couldn't tell. It did move me back which I like.
I thought the stock was okay and better than most stock seats, but the Ultimate is better. My eyes give out before anything else on me does and I've done a 1500 Iron Butt.
2016 F6B Standard Matte Silver. Freedom Combat Slip-Ons, BaggerShield 11" - 19" Sport Shield, Kuryakyn Ergo II Highway Pegs, Ultimate King Seat w/Driver Backrest, Pathfinder Running/Turnsignal/Driving Lights, Beeline Moto Navigation, INNOVV K2 Camera, DHS Racing Shifter Linkage Upgrade, Show Chrome Handlebar Risers and Luggage Rack.
I'm at the other end of the scale when it comes to height. I'm only 5'8" and I use the Ultimate King Rider too. I'm not a lightweight so I wanted the extra support. It may sit me a bit higher but I think that is because the OEM is so squishy. I don't seem to have a problem reaching the ground even though I don't flat foot it as seems to be so important to some. Every bike I have owned has been tall for me. I also went with the MBL risers to offset the short distance the seat moves me back. I also installed the Mini Boards & comfort drop mounts to relax the knees a bit more.
