    After about 2 weeks, they do help but I still just can't get fully comfortable. Is it worth the purchase? Absolutely, but it wasn't the cure-all for me.

    I'm 6'1" and use front seat jackers to help with thigh support ...much improved comfort, adapted to sliding in seat under steering wheel, thing should have more than an inch of adjustment but not seat jackers fault. Love em. Use loctite.

    6'-1" , i used the front seat jackers along with the i believe half inch spacers in the rear, it's much more comfortable and i like that i have more support under my thighs.

    Rear driver seat jackers was one of the first “adjustments” I did to my 2018. The ones I have are adjustable up to 2”. Of course I went the full 2” right off the bat but settled at 1.5” as the best height for me the past 2 years. More comfortable seating and better sight lines.

    Do seat jackers work on power driver seats?

    Yes. I have them on mine. Made a big difference. Especially on long drives.

    Does anyone use this style of gun safe under the drivers power seat and does the seat jacker make it fit well?

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are these things "legal" from an insurance standpoint? Like, if god forbid I'm ever injured in an accident, will these cause any kind of issue with insurance?

    I cant see why this would adjust your liability in an accident. Similar to sitting on a seat booster pillow.
    The mod makes you more comfortable and improves driving safety. It doesn't create a dangerous condition or eliminate a safety feature.

    Just purchased a front set for the driver's side from Desertdoesit. 10% OFF 1st purchase and 10,000 glowing reviews pushed me over. :popcorn:

    At 6'-1", I'm hoping these support my thighs. My 5'-2" wife will be just fine in the low passenger seat, LOL.

    OK, i bit the bullet and bought front seat jackers. Im 6.0. We'll see how I like them.

    Has anyone bought the rear ones? Im thinking that would be useless on a power seat.

    I have them on both front and back on my power seat. Definitely made the seat more comfortable for me.

    I installed them and was iffy at first to even purchase them but now that I have them it does make a difference especially on long drives .

    If I ever bought them it would be front only for more thigh support, the rear ones would be completely useless to me as they would offer even less thigh support.

    Super duper unlikely. It certainly doesn't void your policy. Think about it, the jackers only alter your position within the cab. These trucks are driven by people who range from 4'10" to 6'6". People use multiple seat adjustments to change their angle of attack, so to speak. These jackers orient folks into the same positions that Toyota designers intended. But there could be an issue in that super rare type of accident where all of the seat bolts are sheared off leading to massive injury. In such a liability suit, the issue of whether the mod contributed to the failure comes into play. In this case, your question should be whether the manufacturer of these Seat Jackers carries liability insurance. Cause they certainly would be named as a defendant in any such suit.
