If you need that extra fraction of an inch of travel in the master cyl. you are already in a bunch of doo doo.
It bis safer with the pedal lower as you don't need to get your knee up to your chin to put on the brakes.

Thanks. I’m not anticipating a safety issue once I trim the pedal I bought on eBay. 1) I installed rotors and calipers on all four corners, 2) I also installed an electric hydraulic pump. As a result, I’m certain the truck will stop on a dime before the pedal hits the floor.
