Mirror Position hi or low?

So I'm going to use these mirrors but not sure whether I like the high mount or low mount. What do you guys think?

It's a funny thing.......I like them high on Chevys and low on Fords. I think if you stay with the cross mirror it's for sure low for my eye. I think it keeps the eye low near the center of the truck where it should be. You can't go wrong. Your truck build is amazing.

Something that helped me decide my path was physically sitting in the truck and attempting to view thru them.

Personal opinion but they tend to block my view out the windows more when mounted hi than when mounted low.

I tried both sitting in the truck and trying to see the fenders etc when backing in the garage (truck wasnt running so I had to pretend)

With them low, I like the look but couldnt adjust them exactly where I wanted and my forearm blocked a full view, which I know a passenger will have an arm blocking my view as well. I mounted them up high and it made things much easier to see in my opinion. I can angle them down and see the profile of the rear fenders, running boards and bed corners. With them low I could only see the top of the fender and the rear stake pocket, everything else was a guess.
