    I just installed some Seat Jackers from Desert Does It. The seating position is definitely more comfortable having some support under my legs. After driving the truck twice, I feel like they're almost too tall though. Like I crowing the steering wheel and having trouble finding the right seat adjustment.

    Anyone else have this issue? Maybe I just need to get used to it.

    Does anyone make set jackers that are maybe half the height?

    Give it a few drives, with small tweaks to the seat position each time. I'm going through the same thing at the minute.

    Try sliding the seat one notch backwards while tilting the backrest one notch forward.

    I like mine but I'm 6'2 and I pretty much leave my seat all the way back already, don't have any issues with the steering wheel being in the way.

    6’5” here. Seat is about 2/3 back and the seat back is a little reclined, maybe 4-5 notches. It does feel “different”, but in a good way. It takes some time, but you’ll get used to it.

    At only 5’7” it took me a while to get use to, or maybe find the right position. I also added some spacers to the rear. Helps me see over the hood a little better.

    After a week I'm enjoying the support under my legs from raising the front, but the seat bottom is too low at the back for me. I can't get comfortable.

    I ordered some rear seat spacers and will try to post back how that works out.

    my legs are definitely closer to the steering wheel and wasn't sure i liked it at first but after driving on it for a while, it's still much more comfortable than the stock setup even though my legs slightly touch the wheel when getting in.

    Thanks, that's kind of my struggle right now too. Glad to hear it grew on you.
