So question, ive seen quadratec push these and say they run out all the time. But I don't understand why people want them? I need that extra space to stretch out while driving on long trips, am I the only one?(not knocking your mod just wondering)
Mines a Rockhard 4x4 deadpedal but I can't live without it now that I've drove cross country a few times. I'm 5'7" and my left foot wouldn't set even with my right foot at the gas. The first time I drove from KC to Denver I kept pulling my left up against the seat and it would cramp and/or fall asleep.

Now I almost always drive anywhere with my left heal on the top of the deadpeddle which lets me stretch my leg nearly all the way out, no more cramping or falling asleep.

Sounds like that floorboard was made for your height. I’m 5’9” and don’t reach the floorboard. My other foot position is with my leg pulled back so my foot is flat on the floor but that only works best when we’re out rock crawling.
My feet literally go to the firewall that's where I rest my foot 6'6"

I feel ya. 6'5" here. Seat Jackers made a huge difference for me in comfort. Can't do a dead pedal anyway as I have a manual transmission, so there's a clutch pedal there.

Love it. I’ve tried teaching my 9 year old daughter the basics of an oil change, but I seem to be early. She could not give two craps.

I've been meaning to do this upgrade. How was the install? I hear it's pita.
Very simple. I used my impact wrench to break the nut loose to keep from breaking my knuckles loose. Then just put the pedal in place and put the nut back on tight

Much appreciated. I looked at those before. I'm right at the height where the Seat Jackers work for me. I'm shrinking in my older age, and the Jeep is at the perfect height where I just slide onto the seat. I think if I got too much more space, I would have difficulty depressing the clutch fully, it's close now.
Well mine is an auto but these seats go way way way forward thrower my hip out a couple times early on when I used to let my wife sit in it and Drive it. I just never had enough room to the rear .
