I didn’t know how to coherently title this but.... What starting height plus the maximum internal lengthening of 3 inches makes other people change how the look at the LLer most? For example does going from 5’3 to 5’6 or going from 5’6 to 5’9 change how people perceive your stature more? Also I was thinking about this from the male perspective but female is welcome as well.
Probably 5' 7" to 5' 10", as you jump from below average to slightly above average. The difference in treatment is huge.
Of course from 5' 3" to 5' 6" is still big, but you're still below average which probably wouldn't trigger too strong of a response.
I think I agree because I think the biggest differences in one inch changes is around 5’7 going to 5’8 because one is considered short and then suddenly you are are just barely average and then two more inches brings you to a “respectable height”.

In reality the difference between 5' 8" and 5' 9" isn't even that noticeable, to be fair.
Well I plan on going from 5'7.5 to 5'9.5 and I believe those 2 inches will make a big difference
Yes it's only 2 inches but now I'll go from being short to being perfectly average in the US, to the point where my height won't even be a topic.
That being said my height currently doesn't hold me back from anything either because I'm not that far below average. I believe going from 5'5 to 5'8 would have a big impact because you go from solidly short to barely below average and there will probably be a big difference in how people see you.
On the flip side, if you're already tall then height increase likely doesn't matter. For example if you're 6' then going up to 6'3 will probably not make much of a difference in how people perceive you.
Personally, I thing 5'5" to 5'8" would be huge, ideally I would get there because 5'8" is usually considered "not short" in most places.
In my opinion: the shorter your starting height, the higher your benefits.
Clearly I assume that your starting height is more than 150; if you are shorter you'll be too short even at the end.
Probably the best gain you can see is when your starting height is between 5'3 and 5'5. That range is a mark that makes people think about your height as first thing when they see you, your friends make jokes and stuff like that. In addition a large numbers of girls are taller than you. When you go over that height range you're just a normal short or slightly short dude.
For sure is great going to short to average, but not great in the same way.
As someone stated above I consider the biggest jump would be going from solid 5.5 to 5.8
I have come to realize that the vast majority of people overestimate their height either because they are lying or because they havent measured properly. I myself used to believe I was a solid 5.5 as it was even stated in my Id card, a few years later I realized I am exactly 5.4
Been so obsessive with heights somehow trains you to estimate others people height much more accurately and I now realize that the amount of men in the true 5'9 or 5'10 range is much lower in reality.
At solid 5.8 your height simply wont add or substract to your "attractivness", of course being above 6 feet is a plus, but not a must.
Meanwhile being short is really a turn-off for many women, and you will be out of that zone after reaching the 5.8
I see what you are saying, I think in my area of the US the population is mostly very rich white people, so the average height may actually be 5’10 to 5’11 for males. So I am more biased to the poster who said 5’7 to 5’10 would make the biggest difference. I can see in other areas where the average height isn’t so high that 5,5 to 5’8 would be huge. In my area unfortunately people would still say you are short 
For me it is 5.6 to 5.9 but 3 inches added to everything from 5.5 to 5.7 will make a huge difference, more than any other heights.
