If anyone is interested, I found a kitchen faucet with a 3.5" rise - it's sold at True Value Hardware. Baypointe Basics is the mfg w/10 year warranty. Comes in two models, 116904 chrome less spray and 116906 chrome with spray.

Fits great and is below the shell closure height. Yep, last one was 6.5" and cracked on main spout.
