Drums are cheap.
I plan on using the overhang and building out slightly to fit a queen size bed. That'll leave about 2ft overhang.
I have 3...

30+ year old shocks replaced on my mom's M1010....completely shot obviously... Only the rear, due to $$$.. But got an amazing deal on KYB Monomax shocks, were are a hair below the Bilsteins..... They normally cost ~$100 a piece but I picked them up for ~$60 a piece...

I'm 6'2"
I went fro being able to stand up, with metal brushing my hair as I walked, to a good 3-4", and I haven't even got it down to where I want it yet...
