    I will say, these things are awesome. I have a few hundred miles of seat time in my set and it was a great upgrade for the truck. Do not hesitate to pick up a set if you're on the fence!

    how tall are you? or is anyone here near 6'4" that can advise me on if these help for tall people? im worried about head room and it actually reducing leg room as the up and down of our legs in stock seat helps with my longer legs

    I'm 6 foot, can't say how you will fit being 6' 4, but the reduced headroom was negligeable for me. Did not notice any reduction in leg room under the steering wheel either, which to be honest, was my main concern.

    I think my tallest satisfied customer was 6'2". What I have suggested to many people is do a free and simple test in your driveway. Look through your tool box for 2 large sockets that are 1" tall (can be 2 plastic or wood blocks, or anything 1" tall). Remove the rear bracket seat bolts, push up the seat and place one socket, or anything 1" tall, under each bracket and set the seat down on those sockets. Sit in the seat. You will know instantly, and FREE, if these would benefit you. Don't drive on this temporary setup and remember to pull those sockets out and torque your bolts back to ~30 foot pounds. I have no desire to sell you something if you don't need it.

    100%! it took a couple hundred miles to get used to the new position, but definitely worth it.

    I am down to my last pair until ~Labor Day. I am now working on several front prototype spacers, with some already proven to fit, for other vehicles. I will always make these spacers however there will be less quantities each run.

    I have shifted my home production to manufacture seat spacers for a different market. If you need rear pocket style spacers then pm me to see if I have any in stock for Toyota vehicles. I will try to keep a few in stock. I do appreciate the 5+ years of sales here. My SAF-T-LOK™ spacers are more in demand elsewhere. Most Toyota people seem to be content paying $20 more for a cheaply made stack of washers.

    I do have a few pairs of rear bracket spacers. They DO NOT have a pocket. They are more universal. Same spacers without the pocket. $29 with ground bubble mailer shipping or $32 with priority box shipping.

    I now have universal pocket spacers available. One side has the round pocket for Tacoma and FJ. The other side has a rectangle pocket for Honda cars.

    I am only here to mention that I will have a very few pairs of these available around the 1st of each month. I have a regular monthly reserve list for different spacers, front and rear sets, for other vehicles. I only make limited quantities of all spacers now because I am retired and limit my working hours. I am also sending out some test rear spacers for the 2024+ Tacoma this week. I hold a certain percentage of material from each run to make some for pre-2024 Tacoma and FJ Cruiser if requested.
