6' guy with Seat Jackers

TY, will have to look those up.

I'm 6' 0" and bought a set of Desert Does It seat jackers for both front seats and both my wife and I love them. Every month we drive 4-5 hours to visit family and before the seat jackers I had terrible leg cramps and knee issues 2 hours into a trip (keep in mind I have a MT). After we installed the jackers the pain and joint issues went away. The only issues with the adjusted angle are how close to top of my thighs are to the steering wheel (not an issue when I'm driving) and how close my left shin is to the bottom of the dash (can lightly touch when working the clutch). However, the comfort gained FAR exceeds the small nit picks and I consider them worth every penny.

 

I’m 6’ 6” and while my Gen 2 seating position is OK (especially compared to my Gen 1) some better under-thigh support could be nice.

Any really tall guys with feedback on driver’s seat front risers?

 

I’ve heard of dudes 6’2” hitting the headliners in 3rd gens. Idk about 2nd. I imagine worse.

 

I have too little headroom in a bone-stock Gen 3. Too little knee room, too. I didn’t think I could drive it safely. No way could I manage raised front seat in that series. Perhaps that’s why “normal” people are experimenting with risers on 3rd gen trucks…

My Gen 1, perhaps unexpectedly, has the best headroom.

 

Yeah sounds like these wouldn’t be for you. You need something to lower it lol.

 

5'9" here and I love them. I spend a ton of time in the truck. I did also add about a 1/4 inch to the rear as I normally like to sit high in the cab. The first time I sat in the chair after the install, was like sitting in a different truck. Now I just want seats with better bolsters.

 

I’m 6ft have them on the front only and they are 100% better on my back and legs on long drives.

 

Im 6ft as well, I have them in the rear and it works best for me. I never really have a problem and I rarely drive mine out of town, thats what the 4Runner is for. I left the front alone and just lifted the back. I'm glad I don't have the sunroof!

 

6'4"... Desert Does It made ALL the difference for long drives for me in my 2Gen... No head room issues developed after install. Planning to add to my 2020 3Gen...

 

I bought some front risers on Ebay but they are 1.25" tall. That's uncomfortable to me at 6' tall. Does anybody make some say 1/2"-1" tall instead of the 1.25"?

 

6.3, gave it an honest try. An honest to goodness try, where I took several drives at several different seat positions.




I uninstalled them.


In the midst of trying I did reinforce the side bolsters of my seat covers with 1/4" neoprene. Now that... I liked.

 

I can barely get my legs under the wheel as is; all the way down on the ps also … I don’t see how “jacking” it up will make things any easier. 6’4” here though. I don’t think this is a tall guy mod

 

I'm 6'1" and wear a ball cap almost all the time . I've only had them on for about 3 days, but they dramatically reduce my head room. I'm going to pull them off soon.

 

If anyone needs a set I am selling my almost new ones.

I'm chime in...you will hear the Toyota fan boys here say "get jackers/spacers, it's so much better" it doesn't matter, I'm 5"10" and the seat and positioning sucks.

I have 2021 with motorized seats. I'm not a fan boy, I need reliability and that's why I have a Rav4 and a Tacoma, but looking what's out there, it's getting harder and harder to stick with it, especially on longer trips with the family

 

I just installed my DDI jackers yesterday.
They made the seat feel wonderful. I'm 5'8
Didn't go anywhere, but can't wait to drive to town with em.

 

I love mine at 5'10. My 6' GF hates em. Same complaints as eveyone else. Knee hitting the steering wheel. Head almost touching the roof. She said it was enough not to want to drive my truck. So I'll be keeping them in place

 

6' here and love them. It was a different feeling (obviously) at very first, but now I couldn't possibly part with them.
Rode in my buddies tacoma last week (without jackerz) and was like, "well, these seats suck" lol.
