There is no record of how big the true cross of Christ was. In fact, there was no exact standard for how large a Roman cross was. Ancient cross nails have been found with Olive wood splinters in them. Since olive trees were common in Israel and they are not very tall it is conceivable that the true cross of Christ would have placed Jesus at near eye level.

Why do protestant christians use the empty cross?
The image of an empty cross is symbolic of Christ's death and resurrection. Without the resurrection the life and death of Christ is of no use to anyone. Everything Jesus did and said make no difference if He didn't rise from the dead. A dead Christ can't save anyone. For these and many more reasons many churches choose to use an empty cross as a symbol of Christianity's highest ideals. Therefore the empty cross symbolizes the risen Christ. Further, the Roman Catholic view of Mass posits the idea that in each celebration of the Mass Christ literally performs a sacrificial activity that is mediated through the church and sacraments. In this way, the redeeming work of Christ is considered to be ongoing through the Holy Roman Church. Therefore the crucifix pictures Christ's body still hanging on the cross. Protestants, however, take seriously texts like Hebrews 9:25-28 which reveals that the cross is a one time, non-repeatable event...that Christ is now seated with the Father and waiting to return in judgment of unbelievers and deliverance of believers. This is not to take our need of continual cleansing lightly but instead rests upon the sufficiency of Christ as an atoning sacrifice on the cross. So, continual cleansing is premised upon the completed, all-sufficient sacrifice of Christ. The empty cross of Protestantism is a symbol that there is neither a need or possibility that Christ nor any other must "occupy" the cross again.
