Most would be fine with only a couple inches, but my bimini mounts to the top of the tower, and I frequently store stuff like tubes and floats up there while on the water so I don't have to deflate them, and my tow spool is like 4-5 inches tall so I wanted there to be no debate with the lake patrol about visibility just in case. They can be sticklers about things like that.
I also have to fold my tower either way for storage so the extra height isn't an issue. I am happy with how it came out
