Sorry I don't understand.  what's the main reason of doing this?

I vote you do femurs.  The natural tibia/femur ratio is .8, and your proportions look greater than that. Plus lengthening your tibias will shorten your stride and is much more difficult to lengthen than your femurs.

tibia is more difficult to lengthen than femur? why is that?
what's the best option to lengthen femur? internal method?

p/s: thanks for your response. I really appreciate that.
