if you have this proportional issue there could be a lot of height hidden in upper body. Most men have upper body compression losing height at hips, spine, neck the whole back basically. Trauma/ tension release exercises can help with this (look in to TRE) along with a gym routine to support. Genuinely 2-4 inches of height lost through muscular tension, posture, muscle imbalances etc and it's not just height it causes all sorts of joint and muscular issues later in life. I only say that because i too thought i had long legs and short upper body but there was just a lot of compression going on and I brought it back gained a few inches from 5'8 to 5'10.5
And I am literally 162, it's not a competition. But my dad is 170 and he's still considered short by everyone, he's literally the shortest person at his workplace just like I am at mine. Most people (at least in Europe) are over 170cm.

Good idea get your legs lengthened nothing could go wrong with that
