    Just got them thank you!
    Awesome product man! Easy install and it makes a better difference than showing a small pillow under my legs. I’m 6’2 leg room between thighs to steering wheel is surprisingly nothing to worry about at all. Excellent stuff and great quality. Def understand the amount it costs because of such a custom shape. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    Hey Steve and all! I posted about my "back pain" on another thread, but saw this one and thought I would describe my issue.
    I just bought a 2015 TRD Sport. It's the truck I've wanted for so long to own, but I am having a major issue with back pain only after about 2 1/2 weeks of driving it. For me, it feels like I can slightly feel the metal bar from the lumbar mechanism...like the padding down there is thin in that area. It was a certified auto so I took it back into the Toyo dealership and had 2 guys look at it. They basically said there was nothing they could do about it. The one guy just turned the lumbar support on full. It felt ok at first, but by the time I got home, my back was hurting again. I just don't like the feel of the lumbar on and prefer it off. And yes, I have tried it in the middle and with different seat angles. I find myself trying to enjoy my new truck, but each and every time I drive it, I am constantly trying to adjust the lumbar support or seating positions to find a comfortable position. This is a major setback for me as I love my new truck, but can't believe the discomfort I am feeling.

    Could raising the front up help to eliminate this issue. I am very concerned.

    It’s a very big improvement in the seating for sure. I also had similar issue where my leg would have pain near my pelvis. I was trying a pillow to alleviate but this spacer does help quite a bit. It will def make the chair more comfortable. I’d say try it out. It’s a small investment that could possibly save you from selling the truck.

    Order placed, South Dakota pheasant trip coming up (CA to SD). The problem when extending the legs during a long distance trip is the lack of support to the front thigh, which results in knee pain as the joint is unsupported. Feet flat on the floor (using cruise control) alleviates the problem for short durations. Jacking up just the rear of the seat does help, but hope raising just the fronts may change geometry to better resolve the issue.

    These look great. Seems most people bought them to relieve back/leg pain. I’m thinking of buying so I can see better over the hood...particularly while off-road. Any comments by folks who’ve used them for that purpose?

    These are great, just what this seat needed! I got them in time for a six hour round trip and it made a huge difference in comfort for me. I have a cranky sciatic nerve on the left side and these really help.

    As for seeing over the hood, I don’t have that issue. I did have to scoot the seat in some to accommodate the lift, and you are higher, so maybe it will help your field of vision.

    Does the incline of the seat impact the sensors that are mounted under the seat at all?

    Thank you man, great to hear they are working out so well.

    Its hard to say but it has helped a lot of people with back/leg issues from the stock seats. You can try rolling a bath towel and putting it under your thighs and drive around for a couple days. If that solves the problem than the seat jackers are the ticket.

    Another option might be to lift the rear of the seat, this has helped a lot of people as well. Look on the first page of this thread for the guy selling rear risers.

    Good luck man, let me know if I can help you anymore.

    There are a few folks that have used front and rear risers together whit promising results. Your order shipped out this morning, looks like you will get them on Thursday.

    Unless you add rear spacers with the front spacers I don't imagine your sight line will change much.

    Great to hear, thanks for the feedback.

    I'm not sure what sensors youre talking about but I've sold hundreds and I have not heard of any issues with sensors or codes being thrown. I'm betting that there have been thousands of people install rear spacers and I havent heard of any issues either.



    About 50 sets in stock ready to ship.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Received mine quickly as well. Easy install, great craftsmanship and I love them! I travel from Maine to New York for work every week and it’s nice to be able to stretch your legs out... Highly recommend them if your debating it..
    Thanks Steve!

    For seeing over the hood better, raising the rear of the seat will make the biggest difference. I did that, but raising the rear of the seat and not the front makes it more uncomfortable. That is what happened to me, so I bought these and have essentially the same feel as the stock set, but just up a lot higher.

    Note if you are tall in any way and have a sunroof, you might get too high. I am 5’9” and sitting comfortable, the top of my head is just an inch or so from the roof.

    Best mod ever. I was seriously considering trading in my 17 pro for a 20 just because the power seat. These risers made made the driving position perfect. I’m going to order a second set for my wife. No need to buy a 20 pro now. Thanks again!!!!!!

    I'm a tallish dude with long legs and my butt was ALWAYS KILLING ME!! Any drive more than 30 minutes in my truck and my butt and sciatic nerve were hurting badly and I was almost considering trading in my truck (dramatic I know).

    THEN, I saw this post and ordered two sets (wife is tall too) on Labor Day. Stephen confirmed my order within a couple hours and shipped them out the next morning on Tuesday and I got them in on Thursday. He even responded back to me via email on Labor day. INSANE customer service! I installed them in about 5 minutes, as they're insanely easy to put on. I drove to Dallas and back this weekend from Austin and I've never been happier with my truck. I'm so happy that these are a "thing" and while the truck should have automatic seats from the factory, since they don't, these damn seat jackers should be an option at the dealer, lol!!

    My only question... I have a buddy with a 2014 4Runner and it looks like they'll fit. Anybody have any experience trying these out on them?

    Awesome man, thank you for the review.

    Thanks for the response.

    If you're only lifting the front, the impact to head room should be very minimal if any at all.

    Hell yeah, so happy to hear these are working so we'll for folks.

    Got it, I'll ship 1st thing Monday morning.

    Thank you for the glowing review! I really appreciate it. Always happy to answer questions and and ship asap.


    All orders from Thursday-Sunday will ship first thing Monday morning. I was at Lake Powell all weekend with friends and family.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    I don't believe these will fit 4runners but if you find they do, please let me know.


    All orders from Thursday afternoon through last night have been dropped at USPS. ETA on or before Thursday (likely Wednesday).

    About 20 sets in stock with new batch coming in late next week.

    Definitely will do. Should be trying them on this weekend and if they fit, I'll take pics and post them here.

    Installed them today, pretty easy to do by yourself. It is a noticeably pleasant improvement on initial sit, didn't get a chance to drive around so much. The seat definitely supports my hamstrings; my knees aren't up in the air anymore. Looking forward to the next long road trip. Great product, does what it says, great service, and the Tacoma definitely should have come from factory this way.

    Here is the difference on for the drivers seat.

    Hello Steve and all! I have been reading all about and contemplating raising the seat fronts or the backs. I am so puzzled that so many have raised the back and had amazing results, while all the people on this thread have had amazing results by raising the front. They seem to be so contrary to each other. I am seeing a common theme that tall drivers seem to like the fronts raised. I am only 5' 9" and completely confused on which way to go. I know you probably can't give me any guidance as I have seen you say it is just a matter of preference, but I thought it was worth a try to post once more before buying. I have read on both threads to put something beneath the fronts and backs to see how it feels. No, I haven't tried this yet. Just wondering if you could give any other reasoning why some raise the fronts, while others raise the backs. Hard to believe they both give comfort as one goes against the positioning of the other. Thanks in advance!!
