    Were dose the top of the head rest sit/end for you. Is it low or up towards the top of your head?

    I'm looking for seats with a tall enough back so that I dont get decapitated if I get rear ended hard enough.

    I think a short bolt, nut and washer for each seat to connect the Toyota seat belt latch is all.

    I believe the seats are different total height, you can look on the website and each person is built different.
    LG1 are more on the smaller size in height than taller, I wanted a smaller seat.

    Dont have access to the truck atm. But pretty painless install with Recaros. Only annoying this is getting the bolt and nut that holds the buckle on to fit between the seat and buckle and between the buckle and center console. I'm 6' and this lowered the driving position ALOT, it almost didnt feel like a truck at first haha

    Recaro specialist. I ended up scrapping up the plastic siding on them because of the tight fit with the buckle bolts. But they fit! Buuut they dont slide forward to whole way lol. So learn from my laziness and either weld the buckle to the seat bracket or find a low profile bolt.

    Here are my Corbeau seats I had installed from 4 wheel parts. After the cost of brackets and the seats, it came out to roughly around $1200. I've put about 3,000 miles on them and am really happy. The leg bolsters really loosened up after about a month or so. If you need new seats I feel like these are a good option.

    The GTS II’s sit a little higher. They still have plenty of leg room and articulate back a ton. Depending on your height it’s harder to rest your head on the head rest.

    To stock, firmer. As far as height, I say about the same. Head rest is a tad taller.
