short torso how much should i lengthen my legs?

Edit Post

I'm 171 cm, I want at least 5'9 -5'10 (175-178) but what worries me is my already long legs and small/short torso making my overall stature disproportional.
My inseam is 80 cm, my height at night is 171 cm, the ratio is slightly above average? 46.8%. When I look in the mirror, my body doesn't really match my legs. Could lifting to increase my torso size helps to make it more proportional? And what is the safe point for the length of lengthening?

measure your sitting height . inseam is really inaccurate.

Agree if your sitting height is 88cm-90+ you can get to 5’10-5’11

It sounds like you have long legs/limbs already to be fair here’s a list of sitting height as far as I’m aware.

5’7-5’9=85-89 on average but can be more or less
5’10-6’0=88-92 on average but can be more or less
6’0-6’2=94-98 on average but can be more or less

Is that true

imo sitting height it is not reliable, you can have fat or muscular gluteus,  btw is the same with wingspan because of variation in shoulder width

so more reliable data would be plain arm length and torso length  something like measure from the last vertebral (coccyx)  or tail bone to top of the head

I remeasured my sitting height and it' actually either 86 cm or above. It's abit hard to measure it accurately, but the first measure was on a puffy curvy chair, now that i've remeasured it on a wooden chair, the result seems reasonable, 86 cm or so.
