Seat angle!

[DanJT]

I found a few older threads on this but I'm hoping there are updated options on this.
Am I the only one who thinks the seat angle is tilting forward?. With the leather seats I find myself sliding forward
While driving. I know about "DesertDoesIt " seat lift blocks, but they are rather pricey.
Has anyone moded there seats another way?.

I did a DIY seat slammer...

I placed a couple of half inch nuts under the front rails. It corrected my forward slide. Simple inexpensive fix. Not for everyone but worked for me.

Nice job on the slammer mod.

That's what I was thinking, does it feel solid?

Having just installed the desert does it seat slammer I can say it’s light years better and totally worth the cost for the increased comfort and better visibility. I’ll admit that I may have tried the DIY slammer but I’m 6’2” and wanted the max drop option.

Now to fix the damn headrests…

I will say coming out of a 2020 sport s and into a 2024 mojave. The leather power seats give me a lot more room. Rear of seat base down and front of seat base full up. I have about 1 inch more room from my right knee to the dash and my knee no longer hits the 4wd level when spreading out. For taller guys I would recommend looking at power seats in 2024 and later models.

I am 5'10" and perfectly happy and comfortable with the seats in my '23 JT.

I would love to purchase the desert doesit but at $100 PER SEAT it’s way overpriced. I will definitely take a look at the diy version.

 

[DanJT]

That's what I'm saying, $100 for two chunks of aluminum seems very pricey.
I like the 1\2 nut idea especially with a few washers.

To the guys that have the new power seats, do they adjust enough to solve the seat angle problem?

 

[ScottBeach]

Yes. I traded a 2020 cloth for a 2023 leather/power seat. I am just over 6ft but 34 inch inseam. By powering the back of seat base down and front of seat base up. I have a great seat position and a lot more room than I had before

 

[ScottBeach]

That was a 2024 not 2023. Typo.

Automotive body shim kit from Amazon with different thickness shims works great

I had the Desert ones in mine for a bit then I got out of my daughters JL with out them and remembered how nice it was getting out without them . They are on the shelf with other new items I changed my mine on AFTER I bought them. I bought them mainly to get my leg out of the transfer case shifter when sitting in it BSing
