Default Looking to buy new tall bars but not sure how tall?

I'm looking to buy a set of tall bars for my '06 XC 450 but i'm not sure how tall i need them. I'm about 6'3" and i have the stock magura bars on it and they are to short and i have to bend over way to far when i stand up. I ride mostly trails and desert stuff so i'm standing up alot and like a wider grip. I was looking at a set of Renthal Fat bars but am not sure which bend would be the best for me. Anybody have some advice?

I opted for bar risers for my LC4, I am 6'2" and the stock
maguras were too low.

Here is an option.

Got it now.

OK, check out (I think all bar makers make a version) the Easton EXP
MX Handlebars. They have a Hi model, I'd call and ask how much
rise over stock they are. That would be you only other
option other than lower your peg height .
