Seat jacker/spacer doesn’t align with the seat rail on the right side

    Doesn’t align on the right side. I’ve tried two different brands, (the other was the name brand Desert) and they don’t align with the frame of the seat.

    it’s like the frame of my seat isn’t long enough. If I push the frame to the right really hard I can force the bolt to thread but it stops a 1/4 in.
    Erggg. How unsafe is it to leave only one side bolted down? I can’t live without these after sitting in my truck with them installed.

    any ideas? 2014 Tacoma.

    Did you already fully tighten the bolts on the jackers to the floor or did you leave them a bit loose? I’d certainly leave them a bit loose at the floor and get all the bolts started before tightening to spec.

    I would find it weird your seats would bolt to the stock points fine but not work with 2 different brand seat jackers.

    the other thing is the seat frames aren’t THAT rigid. If you hit the forward/rear adjuster lever both rails can slide independently also and screw with alignment.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Loosen the rear.

    I did try leaving the one loose, but it still doesn’t fit. Even it did fit loose, I wouldn’t be able to tighten it after tightening the frame because the frame sits over top of the bolt to the floor

    Loosening the rear right worked. Lines up like a charm. :)
