The "end" with the Knotty mods is the foot end. We tend to use "end", not "side", to avoid confusion.
The link I posted is a spreadsheet, download it and open it in Excel (or similar), you may be able to view it online.
You can put your data into the yellow boxes.
Although you can't enter the SRL length directly, you can change the hammock hang angle, this then affects the ridgeline length. Keep changing the hammock hang angle until the SRL length matches yours.

My less than month old Dutch 11' wide dbl netless came with knottys on both sides of one end. Nice!
Why are his done that way? My similar type hammock has the KM on opposite sides/ends, head and foot. You flip it over if you want to switch head left/feet right to head right/feet left. Note that this seems to be the same way BIAS would do it as well: (could only find this description, couldn't find anything on Dutch's site)
Knotty Mod - a modification that was invented by a Hammock Forum member that results in a piece of bungee cord being installed on the head and foot area to gather fabric and create a "pocket" that helps keep items contained in the hammock (pillow and topquilt in particular) and that eliminates loose, flapping fabric in the head and foot area. When selecting this mod along with a double layer mod, it is important to note if you prefer to lie head left, feet right across the hammock's diagonal line or if you prefer head right, feet left. Double layer hammocks cannot be flipped over to reverse the placement.

The Knotty mod on both sides of the foot end are so you can lay left or right and still have the suedo footbox. Same with a Half-Wit hammock with Knotty mod.

The 86" height would still need to come down lower to get the full effect of the SRL.
If the SRL is drooping after your get in, maybe it's because the hang angle is so high(greater than 40*). So gravity is pulling the hammock into a "smile" and when you get in, the hammock is no longer a "curve" but more of a straight line down to where you're sitting. This makes the attachment points of the SRL shorter and droops down. Lower the hammock attachment points to the walls and it may help a bit.
