No can do - Claire has a rule that the women are headless.

6'3"
IIRC, Wrist to Floor is 37"

Specs:
Depends on the manufacturer, but in the:

TM R9s: 2° upright, +1/4" length
Ping i5s: 3° upright, +1/2" length

I was using +1/32" grips (Ping 703 Gold), but I've gotten used to the skinny grips on the R9s and now the +1/32" grips feel huge.

I'm 37" to floor as well but when I added the 1/2" to my previous R9's (which I understand is 1 degree upright) it appeared as if the heel of the club was on the ground and it wasn't flush. Amazing how many different combinations there are.

6'5": 3º upright; +1-inch

However, I play my wedges at only 1º upright.

dang, i can only wish i was 6'. most of you guys are tall. I'm just 5'10"...

I've never been fitted and was wondering where you guys went to get fitted? What if I decide to get fitted at multiple places and they all say different things?

I went to a reputable club fitter. If you go to a big box store it may be a bit more iffy. Some of the "findings" are surprising. For example, some seniors who don't hit the ball very far need stiff shafts because of how they load the shaft, and someone who hits the ball a long way may be fitted for regular flex. Or, generally speaking, it's not about how tall you are, it's about how long your arms are. There are a lot of variables that go into a fitting.

I would assume that all or most of you didn't just go by your measurements, but used one of the stike boards or what ever they are? I know that a lot of people don't swing through the ball in the same position that they set up. Is this way off?

Yes, you need to use a lie board. A good fitter will have you hit balls outdoors so he can see your ball flight as well. Hitting into a net doesn't cut it.
