I still cannot get any more than 3.5 inches. Im wondering if i were to put an adjustment arm on the opposite side to help Raise it, and then the other side as well...mine has ONLY ONE deck adjustment arm...the LEFT side just floats....and of course i have the front deck hanger.....i am going to try to get pics as i have been asked to do...im starting to wonder if i have a bent deck shell....

I just googled and looked at a bunch of 2166's The ones I looked at all had handles in the highest positions and the decks still looked low to me. It might just be inherent of that unit.

Look at these. I dont think any one of them is higher than 3.5 inches with handle up.
