hmm, I am 5 11 and when I sit in the CK seat I have to duck to see traffic lights, and the rear view mirror is looking at the steel back wall of the cab and can only see the tailgate.

definitely put the column in before deciding on the seat height, the tilt on mine had to be up almost all the way, with a lower seat I would have had more adjustment.

and yes, the cigarette ilghter fits the ignition hole, I put two in the 49, one in the cig lighter hole and one in the ignition hole.
