    I have a MT with DDI seat jackers raising the front of both driver & passenger seats. I experienced similar leg issues as others have stated regarding the stock seat position. I'm 5'8 and my thighs would begin to ache after a short while but no longer a concern with the jackers installed. The front supports your legs and tilts you back in the seat a bit providing a sporty kinda feeling. My girlfriend & buddy both said the same thing, "much better". This may be the best mod there is...

    I'm 6'2" and the front seat jackers have been a welcome improvement. Basically, they have eliminated leg pain from long trips on in my Tacoma and LX470.

    Don't laugh. Before I installed Seat Jackers, I had to sit on a cushion positioned in the front to control leg pain.

    Something to consider for those on the fence about purchasing a set... if you don't like them on your driver's seat, you can always put them on the passenger seat instead so it's not wasted money. Your passengers will really appreciate it as their seat has even fewer adjustments available.

    I knew there was an issue after my first hour long drive, I found myself shifting around constantly trying to relieve the discomfort in my hips and legs. I was kind of stunned by this as the last vehicle I had that I was uncomfortable in was a 1987 Plymouth Horizon, the issue there was the reclined angle of the seat back.

    I did both sides - "happy wife, happy life" - she is only 5'2" and also found the seats uncomfortable before the mod.

    Many years ago, I had to sell our Corolla SR5 TC when I had to start driving it 45 minutes each way to work because it was too painful to drive. It was a nice 44,000-mile car.

    Would it help you to slide the seat back?
    My theory was that MT drivers might benefit from raising the rear... easier to push the pedals in?..

    No l have the seat position where the clutch goes all the way to the floor. It's just the front of the seat not providing any thigh support.
