I just need to see what it looks like. I'm thinking of doing that set up.

That would be the HD Mini Apes, it was the perfect setup for me.

I just installed 10" Chubby's with the HD 6' pullback risers. Kind of hard to tell with the girl in the red dress on. I love this set up even though its not as clean, but I'm 5'5'' and I like the extra pull back.

I was running 16's with 5" pullback risers was comfortable but didn't like the look so went back to the 11/2 riser as I think it looks cleaner

Why not just get 16" apes? No one else has asked so I thought I would.
