    I've had them for about a month now and I love the leg support the Seat Jackers give me. I have a long drive from Sacramento to Sedona next Tuesday, which will really give me an idea.

    Oh, just installed my fire extinguisher too. It's the perfect place, quick access and it doesn't hit my legs.

    I just installed mine about 20 minutes ago. Got them through Amazon since I had a gift card to burn. Just sitting in the seat, the difference is noticeable to me, and I think this will be quite beneficial for longer trips. I think the biggest thing is that with the new thigh support, the seat jackers change the angle of the hips, which is what is relieving lower back pressure. The quality of the finish is apparent. Looking forward to going for a drive to the mountain bike trails in a bit!

    This might seem like an odd question, has anyone used these along with the risers that go on the back? Overall I feel like the seat could be higher both on the front and back as I am pretty short, 5'7". I feel like if I installed both though it would return it to roughly factory position, albeit a bit taller. I like the mounts on these though, could definitely put tools or a flash light there.

    At 5’ 8” the front spacers used with a 1/4” rear spacer worked for me. I like that the current front Molle panel is one piece.

    I'm even shorter, at 5'5". After driving around for a week with just the front seat jackers, I'm gonna try raising the rear a little bit. I want the bottom cushion to retain more of a slope toward the rear still, but at its current angle, I have to fight the front edge of the seat cushion a little bit when I need to FULLY depress the clutch to start the truck (6MT obviously). I believe raising the rear will allow me to more naturally get the pedal down to the floor. My wife is even shorter at 5'2", but she hasn't driven it since I installed the seat jackers.

    Just bought and installed my seat jackers. Will see. Haven't driven yet with them in. I have a manual. Need to find that spot for the seat adjustment. Seems like a nice product and will post back once I've driven it.

    Anybody with a 2020 have these? I'm 6'1'' and do long for a more comfortable seating position. Just don't know if these would help at all considering the 2020 has electric controls that can raise the front of the seat and give lumbar support.

    I wanted to post this in the second gen thread because it doesn’t have nearly as many reviews as the third gen thread.

    I experimented with front jackers and all three rear sizes (1/4”, 1/2”, 3/4”). With just the front jackers you get maximum leg support, but really no additional height. The 1/4” rear spacer give a nice little boost that complements the front seat jackers. The 1/2” is a more noticeable boost and better height if you have trouble seeing over the hood. The 3/4” was a huge lift and made me feel like I was driving a semi truck lol. My arms barely reached the door armrest and center console to rest on.

    I dropped it back down to 1/4” and I am really happy with the overall feel and support. This review is based off my height 5’7” and my truck is a 2015 automatic.

    Bonus pics of my setup after I sourced ARP Hardware

    Man those ARP bolts are sweet! Looks really good and definitely different. Thank you for the feedback and sharing the combo that worked best for you.

    So you went with 1/4 in front and rear? I have a 2010 and i am 5'7". I was thinking of going with the 1inch in the back and not adding anything in the front. Maybe a 3/4 will do fine for the rear for me and those ARP bolts look great.

    The 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" were all related to the rear bolts. The front seat jackers are all 1.25" tall :thumbsup:

    Finally got the extinguisher and DDI quick release mount to complete my setup! The quick release is by far the slimmest low profile mount on the market. This setup doesn’t protrude very far into the lower floor board, which is what I wanted.

    We'll be waiting for you!

    Man that looks slick! Nice work, those ARP bolts never get old.

    Because interior space is at a premium, our goal was to design the slimmest mount we could and I think we succeeded. Happy to hear you noticed!
