Thanks for the advise and help. The longer stem will work, the only problem is the length of the seat post because it has to be 8 inches or lower. My seat post is already pretty high and I need it to go a bit higher for it to fit me properly. Thanks, fat chances can bring good money if they are on the right site like fatcogs forum or ebay. I am not sure what mine would bring but I am guessing $700- $800.
