That's as short as I can make it since other things start crunching together if it gets any shorter.

Existing on left, modified on right.


As it will be installed for the 4.5" extension.

Now I REALLY can't wait for Spring to arrive!!!

Awesome!

I think this will make a huge difference, aesthetically. At 4.5", your average person will likely not notice it isn't stock.
