    Has anyone tried Seat Jackers? If I only install the front jackers, is there any concern about bending the seat rail in the back when I tighten those back down after installing the fronts? Just didn't want to bend the brackets

    Currently, I have the seat in my Limited maxed in the up position in the front to get support under my legs, but it just doesn't go up high enough. Sort of feels like I going down hill. Were there any adjustments you had to make as a result of having installed them? I am really hoping this solves the issue. Imagine you are pretty happy with them :)

    Lots of posts about them and it seems most people have good results. I tried them for a while and couldn’t stand them. Made the seat very uncomfortable for me.

    I have the seat jackers in the front only. I love them and have zero problems. Been running them for tens of thousands of miles now.

    Fronts and backs with some extra lumbar cushion. It's like my living room on 32" Wildpeaks. It sure beats my initial 600 mile drive home where my leg fell asleep

    6’3” and ‘21 OR here and they made a big difference for me also, I went with front only. Also, got their MMP to go between the jackers- handy place to store stuff.

    I had them on my Tundra. I loved them and will be getting a set for my Tacoma. If you have OCD like me you will want a set for both seats because you can definitely see a difference in height.

    I just installed the front and rears on the passenger seat. I did it to even it up with the power drivers seat. Plus, it gave more room for a small amp.

    I tried them on both front seats and they were in the truck for only one day. My wife and I both found them extremely uncomfortable. Most people like them, though. They just weren't for us. 26 on the torque wrench if I remember correctly.

    I just tightened them until the thought " that's not going anywhere" entered my head.

    I have the rear ones guy makes on here because they turn the stock front seats from uncomfortable to comfortable.

    about what. The stock seats? Go take a drive.

    I do recommend trying it both ways, and experimenting with seat positions both ways. I wound up despising the jackers because they either put pressure points against my thighs or they put my knees into the dash. So after about a month of playing I gave mine away. I wound up buying a sheet of neoprene and reinforcing the seat bolsters (between the seat and my clazzios) and learning to drive in a more upright position, and that did the trick for me.

    But that's me. Many people love them. Many people don't. The only way to know is to give it a try.

    I just installed the fronts on the driver side today. Only made a short trip so far so can't say for sure how they are. My legs and feet were going numb when driving more than 20 min before though. I couldn't find any position that was comfortable. Coming from a Lexus GX this seat is absolutely awful. If the seat jackers don't work my last resort will be going to an auto upholsterer and hoping they can do something for me.
