We did exactly that on TOW. By raising the gas pedal and dropping the brake pedal a little, we found a much better match on the gas/brake pedal heights. I was pretty unhappy with them at first also!

Nice job Sieg.

Great job Sieg, wonderful fabrication!!

Nice Job man! That's a great solution to a problem I wish we had. Drive-ability! Right now our drives like it is on rails! Wait a minute, it is on rails, 10" beams to be exact.
