Installed Desert Does It Seat Slammers, incredible success lowering driver seat height :)

As the title states, I just put them in. Install was fairly easy, just nerve racking . The idea of cutting your brand new brackets makes me cringe. However the result surpassed my expectations. I am not the tallest guy 6'2", yet from the day one I couldn't get over the uncomfortable , almost numbing feeling that my Jeep is trying to spit me out along the way. Now my ass drops right in and I feel nested.

Needless to say, I tried the front seat jackers and didn't like it. The trick for me , was to drop the rear instead of raising the front of the seat. Feels like a different truck altogether .
Really happy with this mod.









INSTALLED PHOTOS:

There is a 1,5 inch drop. On the driver side. The passenger side is unaltered.
Please excuse the messy seat covers , dog owners will understand

Awesome!!

i may have try this at some point. I e been struggling more and more with right knee pain and I just can’t seem to find the seating position that’s right. Has me doing the unforgivable and looking at rams

Same here, I was becoming more and more miserable, my lower back was killing me. Like sitting on a branch, I was even regretting getting the Mojave trim due the narrower/ tighter seat. Now it feels like my 2015 Mustang.

One technical detail, don't use sawzall, cutting wheel is more precise and causes less vibration, especially if you work alone and there is nobody to hold the seat for you.

When I had my 3rd gen tacoma it was just the opposite. Everyone was putting spacers under the rear of the seat tracks to raise the back of the seat.

I'm going to be doing this soon enough. Maybe both seats depending on my Wife, lol

Once my wife approves , I will be doing the passenger side as well as her Wrangler. She disliked when I installed the seat jackers before.
I also like how clean is this application , looks stock.

Can you post pictures of what angle the seat is at installed?

Absolutely, I moved the seat to the front to give you better idea.

I currently have a couple washer under the front of the seat since the jackers were a little too tall for me. It feels okay but sort of like i moved the pressure from my knees to the hamstrings, which still impacts the knees. I may have to pull them and try throwing them under the rear...honestly hadnt event considered that until now.

same. The front of the seat puts pressure on the back of my leg because of the height from the floor. Think lifting/tilting forward would help that.

Welp, Guess what Ill be doing tonight and or tomorrow. Ill create a new thread on it once I do just to un-hijack the OPs thread.

All good guys, hijack away.

The Dead pedal helped me a bit , I think I still need something like this for those long runs though.

I pulled the washers out of the front seat bolts and put two of the three washers under each of the rear seat bolts. Not a fan :-/ feels too weird in that seating position for me.

I guess I can try just two washer under the front bolts and see if the slight angle change is the sweet spot or not.
