With the help of Bike Fitting, you’ll be able to find the right fit for your frame size, style of riding, and your particular dimensions. Here ya’ go…..the location for everything fit related.

Wow, what a difference
I had my carbon road bike fitted today, I was having elbow pain and legs were sore after long rides, they raised my seat about three inches raised my bars about an inch and a half, and replaced my seat and wow what a difference, this bike is much easier to ride, and legs and arms are not as sore, I recommend having your bike fitted ASAP, it is worth the money

That is a HUGE CHANGE. Glad it's working better for you. Did you buy your bike from a shop? Did they not fit it for you?

three inches is mammoth. I thought 1/4" on my seat was a big deal.

Even 3cm would be a large saddle raise - unless you had the saddle WAY too low for some reason?
