    Seat jackers are a MUST! Made a dramatic improvement for me. So far it is my best "mod". I highly recommend them!!

    Do these benefit the power seats at all?

    Very interesting, but too much $$ for what they are. I'll machine a set.

    Fair Warning, NEVER trust the material certs. from China. They use VERY loose interpretations of what elements certain alloys contain.

    Have power seats, but tried these anyway. They lasted one trip to work and back for me and one 10 mile drive with my wife trying them out on the passenger seat. Great for some, but definitely not for everyone.

    I have a '21 with power seats and love them. I did not add any spacers to the rear of the seats. Added some to the passenger seat and my wife likes them too. I am 6'1" and they are very comfortable for me. I have a freind who is 6'2" and he sat in the passenger seat and said they are a big improvement. Good luck!

    I'm 6'4", will this make a difference for me? I already sit with my seat all the way back.

    Desert Does It manufactures all our aluminum parts in St George UT US. We invented the original Front Seat Jackers over 3 years ago. Tacomaworld was integral to the final design, feel free to search or seeing in my signature. We continue to support the enthusiasts with original designs and you will never see us riding on the coat tails of others success.

    Anyone else making Seat Jackers are infringing on our patent and trademark. They are also probably made in the same overseas factory with junk aluminum and sub par bolts (Class 10.9 or better are provided with all our kits). Buyer beware of any knock off product.

    I found after installing them they added seat support to the back of my legs above the knee which made the seat more comfortable for extended driving. Give them a try. Some people like them and some don't.

    I have a 21 with power seats and I added them to the front and back. Made a big difference, especially on long trips. Got them directly from Desert Does It. Didn't want the sub-par imitations.

    I got mine from Desert Does It a couple weeks ago and I love them! So glad I listened to the recommendations on here.

    You use the stock bolts you take out again ,Torqued to 27ft pounds with Blue Loctite,to tighten seat jacker block to the floor and you use the manufacturer Provided bolts to bolt the seat to the block at the same 27 foot pound's with blue Loctite.

    When installed to the rear of the front seat, depending on which size spacer is used, then yes they do require longer bolts. This bolts are also included in the kit for the rear of the seat

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    And the guy that spent his time and money developing them gets nothing from the Chinese theft of intellectual property. How would you feel if this happened to you?
