Figured out my problem:
1. Slightly low on hydraulic fluid. Not a huge amount - maybe a quart or so.
2. This is what was really causing the problem - there is an adjustable section of linkage from the control arm by the seat and the actual exterior portion of the piston. A simple connection - double nut on some threaded rod with an eye between the two. My particular linkage had at least a half inch of slack where one of the nuts had backed off, so when I pulled on the oerating arm, the piston never recieved the command to raise to the full height position.
Figured I'd pass it along because it's something that was extraordinarily simple, yet extremely aggravating.
