    6’2. Was skeptical. Ordered from Ali… and paid 30$ CAD shipped to my door in 2 weeks. Look like an identical replication of the original.

    I saw a few reviews talking about the elimination of numb lower back and tight glutes from the slope of the seat. That the angle adjust was just enough to support more leg weight… etc.

    Alas. Installed. Then did a 8 hour drive. I have never questioned the purchase again. I actually forget that I have them installed until I see something on here.

    if you are thinking of doing it… just do it. I know of not one other buyer that regrets it.

    My opinion only .. pS I have a ‘21 with a power seat and still and pleased with the install.

    Seat Jackers worth it?
    YES!
    The combination the power seat and Seat Jackers transform one of the weak points of the Taco (poor seating position) to one of its strengths. I could not be happier with the position of my driver's seat based on several 350+ mile days.

    I have not done rear seat jackers but I have the front ones and 10/10 would buy again. Like someone else said, worth every penny.

    I have both front and rear on both seats. Even though the driver’s seat is a powered seat, helped a lot. Wife stopped complaining about the passenger seat after long trips. I went with the original from Desert Does It. I don’t like supporting chinese knock offs.

    I tried them for a while, and they did not work out. They made long drives painful for me. I’m 6’1” and 200lbs for reference.

    6’ 3” here and worth every penny. The angle change that resulted keeps my legs from going to sleep after a long drive. Prior to the install, my only contact with the seat bottom was my butt bone, now I have rear thigh support, but I also think everyone is different.

    Added benefit, their MMP (Multi mount panel) that installs between the jackers provides a mostly out of sight, handy place I keep a flashlight, Leatherman, and a 9mm.

    I'm 5'6 but thicc. I took mine out because my thighs hit the steering wheel getting out and my knife clip was tearing it up. And I'm too stuck in my ways to put it in my other pocket.

    Very pleased with the Desert Does It seat jackets. They have been on my Tacoma for for over 60,000 miles.

    Rear sliding window, intermittent wiper switch, center console tray, glove box organizer shelf, WeatherTech front mats and mud flaps, 3D MaxSpider behind-the-front-seats mat, bed lights, MESO climate control rings, XPEL tailgate protection, Desertdoesit.com seat jackers, RAV4 radio knobs, glove box letters.
    I installed rear jackers only on both front seats. Raises me up to a comfortable seat position and I don't feel 'sunken' down like before. I have a non-powered seat so it was my only choice and I am happy. Tried the fronts too at first but it didn't feel right to me so just went with the rears. I don't drive long trips (we use my wife's SUV) so I can't comment on extended comfort, etc. I installed them almost 3 years ago and would recommend them.

    All depends on your build, as you can read, very mixed reviews. I’m 6’2”, 200, and 66 years, and absolutely love them. I only installed on driver side.
