Default Gas pedal too high

I am 6'5" tall, Does anyone know if it is possible to either move the gas pedal lower, or if there is anything in the aftermarket available? (2016-C7-Z51)

Thanks for any info, JC

Not sure what you mean......like get the pedal farther away from you?

Have you tried disconnecting the seat limit switch strip behind the driver's seat? It will get you about an 1" more travel I think.

And posts 1 and 2 in here describe how to adjust the seat to get more rear travel without doing anything else:

Inseam is 36, but the main problem is that I have some leg problems.
There is room for my frame, but would like to be able to have a little more space between my right leg and the gas pedal. There is extra space ahead of that, and I am trying to see if there is a solution. I tend to use cruise on all my vehicles, including my 65 GTO. A younger guy would probably have no problems. Being 69, things tend to be more pronounced!

Have traveled on 800 mile trips, and it does get to be hard on the right leg, in the same position.
