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 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.
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.

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?

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

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
