Center Console To Low any Mods or Fixes?

The center console between my buckets is just to low IMO. Has any one else thought this and has anyone done a mod to raise or does anyone know if a differnt year with a higher center console would work? I think if i had a higher center console it would be more comfortable with my arm rest raised and my elbow on the console because i think these arm rest just su%@! They are to low and pretty short also. This is for my 99 F-150 XLT. I have a couple of pictures but i cannot get them into this e mail. i will keep trying to post them.

I don't know of any ways to mod the stock one, but I am sure you could. Probably the best idea is to swap it out for the 97-99 Expedition console that will bolt right in same holes. If you do a search for it you will find several folks that have done it, including myself. I for one will say that it is well worth the cost. It's taller and goes all the way up to the dash like the newer trucks do. They are just getting hard to find and people that have them usually ask a good $ for them because this is a popular mod for our trucks. There are usually half a dozen of them on ebay at any given time. Hope I answer all potential ques...if not someone else will prob chime in.

JDL would this bolt right in the existing holes in my 99 f150 XLT? If so how about where the it extends up to the dash how would that bolt down?

Thanks
