    I also have the DesertDoesIt seat jackers. I love them. You've seen me, I'm not tall. I found that jacking the front up this much was a bit too much but 3 fender washers under the backs of the seats (just over 1/4") took enough of an edge off to make the ride just about perfect. Money well spent.

    I have the desertdoesit ones in both trucks. The backs come with 3 different sizes so you can install to preference.

    I saw those but figured $49 was a bit much when I can go to the hardware store and buy a handful of 3/8" washers for a couple of bucks. BTW, you can't see that I have washers under there unless you pull the caps up.

    The bolts are what hold the seats in and if the bolts are tight, I have no worries. Why would washers make any more difference than aluminum spacers? They are doing the same thing.

    I agree... and the seatjackers themselves are spendy. I could have a student make something similar as a project... but I don't want the wait.

    You still need a shock relocation to go with your new hammer hangers and leaf springs. You know.... Might as well finish off the rear while it's apart.
