    For those that have purchased these was just raising the front what worked for you or did you raised the rear also?

    It raised the front so your legs would be resting on the seat. Your legs are closer to the steering wheel. The seat is reclined a bit so you have to tilt the seat forward more. Head room doesn’t change. Your legs rub on the seat bolster when getting out. It’s cool but decided it’s time to sell since I don’t really need them.

    I dont have them but if I were going to add them it would be to raise the front only.

    I’ve got them for both front and rear but I’m 5’6.5” so I’ll take the boost. But seriously my legs used to numb out

    The ones for the front make a huge difference for me. Since I have a MT I have a more limited range of seating positions due to the clutch and can't slide the seat back as far as I could with an AT. Much less leg fatigue now, but it does make it a bit of a squeeze to get out from under the steering wheel when exiting. Not to the point of it being a problem, it's just something to get used to. If only we had a little more adjustment with the tilt/telescopic wheel adjustments.

    Mine is a manual too and my knees ache after long trips. I think I’ll try fronts to start with and see how it goes. Thank you for the replies

    I did front and rear, but I also put an amp under there, so dual benefit of being more comfortable for me, and giving amp more breathing room

    Raised the front only.
    Due to the lack of thigh support it seemed that all of my weight was being supported by my heels and butt bones, the leg muscles were always engaged.
    I could only drive about an hour without getting achy and constantly shifting around trying to relieve the discomfort.

    With the Desert Does It seat jackers I have comfortably driven up to 700 miles in one day, they were worth every penny.

    At 5'7", I'm interested as well. I'd appreciate it if with your response, you'd give your height.

    One of the things I like most about my 2020 Tacoma is the seat position. I like the lower position with my legs outward but I'm 6'-1". (and shrinking lol)

    I agree, im 6-1, 240, and i dont have any issues with the seat, even for long trips. I think tacoma owners are like cross fit people, make anything for them and they will buy it because they "need" it.

    21 Automatic OR and 6’ 3” here.

    Prior to the installation of the front only Seat Jackers, like an earlier poster, my weight was on my heels and butt bones, which was very uncomfortable for anything more than 10-15 minutes. I tried multiple seat positions also.

    Installed front only seat jackers and with a tweak to my seat position, I’m back good. I’ve driven several hours of the TAT with no problem at all.

    I'm 5'6. Couldn't be happier with my ddi seat jackers. I only got em for the driver. My wife doesn't complain about the seat position.

    Front only. Much better support for legs and more comfortable for me.

    Yep. It raised me up a little. But I need the thigh support. Raising the rear seems like overkill.

    Went with both front and rear. A lot more comfortable. Just wish the steering wheel could raise higher.

    I raised the rear 3/4" (before I heard about the front option). I'm 5' 10". With a manual, it seems to make it easier to push pedals. I found the seating position more comfortable also. My brother sat in the factory passenger seat and said "I'd rather raise the front to support my legs." He comes from a tundra.
