182, a tall persons gonna want that extra length in the tip n tail to support them on landings, shorter will make landings significantly harder/less forgiving
Ski length has to do with skill level as well. I'm 6ft and rode a 181 for years. I moved up to a 186 for a bit more stability at speed and also because of availability at that size. I love the extra length now and won't go back. If you're comfortable on your skis and aren't trying to do a 7 swap or an 8 on, I would lean longer for actual skiing benefits. 182 is right for you over 174 no doubt though
You are 182cm and some change tall. Usually most people should try to shoot for height somewhere along the head for park skis whether that means chin, top of head, etc.
Go 182
I’m 5’8” and ski a 182 so don’t let the length scare you.

You won't notice any difference. 2cm is not significant
