I'm 6'4" with 179s... just an FYI incase you were wondering...

Your weight has far more to do with what ski length you should be riding than your height. How on earth can your skis tell how tall you are.  They respond to weight/forces created by strength.

6'1" (185-186cm)
Riding 180 First Bloods and 185 JJ's.
The JJ's could probably have been a bit longer, but unfortunately, those are the longest.

Will be getting a pair of 185 Walls next season.
