I think it is just the angle of the picture. If you compare it to the stock roll hoops it's about 3-4" higher. Comparing it with pictures of the hard dog and stock seats it would be the same height if not a tad higher as well. It's at the max height for a soft top, 1/4" higher and it wouldn't work. If you had a hard top you could probably get another inch or so out of it but i'm 6'4" and i have pleanty of room between the bar and my head so i don't know why you would need to go any higher.

I'm just so glad I'm not real tall...
When I did mine I kept the OEM hoops and storage, and moved the bar as far forward as I could
Because of this the bar is able to be much higher because it is closer to the fulcrum point of the softop's arc
The top of my bar is at the same height as the top of the front windshield frame, but I don't have full seat travel, just enough seat travel for my body
I figured as I bought the car when I was 42, I had stopped getting taller
