Seat Risers...with power seat...

Do the seat risers work/make sense if you have a power seat - or is the lift in the front kind of redundant of what the seat is already capable of?

 

My understanding of seat risers is that they lift the physical seat. You unbolt the seat from the truck, insert risers, re-bolt. Therefore seat risers provide functionality in addition to the power seat. Risers allow you to sit even higher than “stock.”

Now personally I don’t understand the desire to use seat risers, but plenty seem to recommend em.

 

Certain sitting styles prevent the front seats from providing any support under the legs (which in turn puts pressure on the lower back). The risers put you in a more reclined position which provides support under you legs. They definitely work.

 

Front jackers give the seat more lean back. For some, it feels better on the legs and glutes on long drives. Adding rears give you more height all around. Which is great if you're short or have trouble with the limited adjustment on the steering wheel. Depending on the size of the individual, you get different benefits. It's all preference really.

As someone who is 6 foot with a bad back, I can say the front jackers made me feel a whole lot better at the end of the day. I have the power seat and it's a huge improvement on angle.

I also got a molle panel mount out of it too so, bonus.

 

Alright - well I read so much about them that I ordered them earlier...then I got to thinking that maybe the folks that were reviewing them had manual seats...and I felt like an idiot for a bit. I guess we'll see tomorrow if I have time to put them in how they are.

I do remember that in my 01 Jeep TJ - that was one of my favorite mods I did to it (although that had a manual seat)...and we used hockey pucks back then lol.

 

I like them in my work truck with manual seats, they help angle but the bit of extra height also help too.

I tried them in my personal truck too, but with the sunroof lowering the roof height it was too much of an issue with headroom when adjusting the seat controls at all, and I found my legs hitting the bottom of the steering wheel too often. I would have liked a bit more angle but the front jackers alone were too much, and adding rears to adjust the angle better put my head too close to the roofline in my own truck.
