Okay, I've done all the measuring and now I'm looking for a second opinion.
Height = 171cm/5'7
Wingspan = 183cm/6ft
SH = 94cm/37 inches
Inseam = 80cm/31.5 inches
Shoulders = 21.5 inches
I'm African American so I'm aware that I can make my legs a bit longer than the average.
Should I go for 6ft?
I used to lift and I'd like to get back into the big compound lifts will 12.7/5 inches make this impossible?
Is it a bad idea to attempt even segment lengthening(Ex. 2.5 inches in each)?
If I lengthen to 6ft I'll be an inch shorter than my dad so I could pass it off as a late growth spurt I'm 26 so it'll be pushing it.
I can add more details if needed.
Like arm length, hand size and shoe size.

Based on your wingspan alone, you're a good candidate for CLL.  You should be able to attain 6ft easily without it being noticeable at all.
You're pretty much my height pre-LL and I have a shorter armspan but still look ok at 6ft. Nobody has every said anything, in fact, the opposite, a few have said  I have long arms lol.

What is your wingspan? Can you also give me shoulder width and arm length?
I'm just trying to make sure so it'll actually be seamless.
My arm length = 78.74cm/31 inches(Shoulder to middle finger tip)
Hand length is 20.32/ 8 inches
I also wear a size 11.5 US or 44-45 EU.
6'2-6'3 is tempting but its also spooky af and I would love to be able to lift.
I'd prefer to have my ape index be even or positive tbqh.

Is it true you have to increase your height a bit past the target to reach the real estimate?
Eg. I wanna go from 171cm to 183cm(slightly over 6ft) Do I go for 184cm/185cm?
I've read you lose a little bit of height after the procedure.

Dude there's no need to measure every little bone in your body. If you want to be taller and at 171, you're a good candidate providing you're healthy and fit, just get the money together and go for it. I put 11cm on femurs alone, I have lots of pics and videos in my diary.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've done the measurements a few years ago I'm just making sure I don't wind up looking like a freak. Proportions are very important to me.

OP, you aren't a good candidate for the surgery based on your inseam. However I think its probably shorter than you recorded it at because a 37 sitting height does not correlate with a 31.5 inseam. Either one of those is wrong or maybe you just have a lot of mass in your thighs.
