    Most order front Seat Jackers only (or with an MMP). The Seat Jackers have an angle added with the minimal lift, there's no impact to the rear legs. Just make sure to loosen the rear bolts for install.

    Would this mainly help taller drivers? Gow much of a benefit would this be for people 5’8”

    One way to find out is to loosen the front bolts and shove in a 1 inch phone book there to simulate the seat jacker. Sit on it . If you feel comfortable then it's for you. Most from what I read on here swear by it. Just ordered a set myself. I already have the rear. Ordered the front this time.

    I'm 5'7" and by raising the front of the seat it gives me more thigh support. I guess it depends on how far/close your seat is too. I'm happy with purchase.

    I'm 5'10" and l was a little iffy on them but now that I have them with the multi mounts I'm never getting rid of them. I like the adjustment to the seat and the mounting points have already proven useful for saving space after mounting a fire extinguisher and flashlight. Knife is getting mounted on Friday once I figure out how I want to mount it.

    Got mine today. Wow, super fast shipping. Excellent quality too. My only regret is that I should have gotten this when it was first offered. I thought the rear was enough. Now with this wonderful product, there’s great thigh and back support. My back and legs will thank me for this. This and the kdmax 6.0 premium tune makes my taco perfect. Can’t wait for the 2000 plus miles road trip next month.

    Took the plunge last week and bought the under seat air compressor mount (which came with the seat jackets). I was going to install on the passenger side, but with all the praise, I might have to rethink this.

    Sorry honey, Mother’s Day was last week. :crapstorm:

    Got them installed. I'm a bit too tall / big for them, so I removed them and put them on the passenger seat. I'm sure passengers other than my dog will enjoy them.

    I finally was able to install them, I really like the support on the legs, but I hate that my legs rub the steering wheel everytime I get in and out of my taco. The steering wheel is already set to the highest point. Anyone have this issue? Or is it my fat legs. lol

    Did you pull the steering wheel towards yourself too? It's telescoping which I just learned before installing mine a few weeks ago

    Yes, I pulled it towards me. This is the one thing that annoys me. Getting in and out now.

    How big tall are you, if I may ask? I'm 6' 235 but would like an air compressor under the seat. If worse comes to worse, the passenger side might be an option if it doesn't work out.

    Could already be mentioned, are these only one size? About an inch?

    Do you make smaller front spacers?

    I think they only come in the one size. Maybe a second size would be a good idea but I guessing the creator/seller tested different sizes before settling on the 1 1/4" thickness.

    Can anyone confirm if these help with thigh support? I feel like my leg hangs off the seat too much. But the steering wheel doesnt come back enough for me to push the seat back. So my knees are high slapping the column. I try to have good posture, I spend 2-3 hours in my truck a day for work.

    You nailed it. We tried other sizes but due to the required offset of the two bolts, 1.25" is about as short as we can go.

    This is exactly what our Front Seat Jackers do. They lift the front of the seat up by 1.25" and provide help bridge that gap between your thighs and seat.
