Question on height difference between Premium Kettle and Master-Touch

[GermanTex]

I have seen that the Master-Touch is a bit higher than the Premium Kettle. Is this just through the larger wheels (8" vs 6") and probably a longer front leg or are all the legs longer?
I have a 22" Premium kettle which I like to raise in height since I am a tall guy. I have several 8" wheels left over from my recent gas grill renovations and I am trying to figure out the easiest and cheapest way to get the kettle a bit higher.
Thanks

I think it is about the same height with a long front leg and wheels. I did what you mentioned with an old redhead. I also just got a MT I will line them up and post a pic in a bit.

For $5.98, you can buy this 60" shower rod at Home Depot, cut it to the correct length and drill a hole for the triangle to attach.  The rod itself is an exact match to the 1" aluminum Weber legs.

Awesome. Thanks a lot. This sounds like a great idea. Will give that a try. I might even make three extra long legs.

Longer front leg and 8inch wheels leaves it right between premium and master touch heights.

This is even better. Thanks for these ideas. I love that video from Tom Horsman.

I am going to get a little bit of a raise on the height of mine by going from 6 inch wheels to 8 inch lawn mower wheels (1 inch raise).  Also plan on putting a caster on the 3rd leg to level it out since the third leg wouldn't be long enough.  I am not very tall though and just wanted it to sit closer and look similar to my performer.   

You could look into a master touch leg kit, a new triangle at the bottom (they are a different size), and some aftermarket wheels.  However, that is still probably a $70+ expense that I wouldn't do unless you got your grill on a close out or cheap.

I started on mine last night but I was not able to finish it because it got dark. Extended the legs with conduit by six inches.

Finished it tonight. Thanks for all the links. This was really easy.
