More like a 4 inch height difference. This from wikipedia:
“Zimmerman’s height is shown as 5’8” and his weight as 185 pounds on his Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Booking Information dated 4/11/2012.[55] Zimmerman’s height is shown as 5’7” and his weight at 200 pounds on the Sanford Police Department Offense Report for 2/26/2012.[56]”

Trayvon’s DL listed him at 6’00”,
I think there's a 3" difference (but certainly not 7"). Compare actual measurement versus actual measurement instead of what somebody claimed versus actual measurement.
Trayvon's DL is based on what he said. If you're 5'11", as the autopsy showed, and you're a guy, you're likely to say 6'0". I certainly have a brother who does.
Or maybe Trayvon was 6'0".
It doesn't excuse FR members from frequently saying Trayvon was 6"-7" taller - and we keep seeing FR members state that Trayvon was 6'-3" or 6'-4".
We've been annoyed at false statements that keep being repeated by the media and those who want to lynch Zimmerman. We shouldn't continue to repeat similar false statements that favor Zimmerman.
