    Perfect combo

    Just installed my Desert Does It Jackers...
    And as what seems to be the norm, I immediately felt the difference. Much more comfortable driving position. Taking it for an evening drive to check out some Halloween lights later on.

    I got the jackers and really like them. Feels a lot more like the position I sit in my full size gmc. Changed my wife’s opinion of the truck, she loved our suburban and didn’t care for the tacos until it got jacked. Something I noticed and haven’t seen mentioned is how after adding them I needed to move seat forward so it effectively added rear leg room. May depend on person, I’m 5’ 9” 165 lb. I would think someone heavy might find it tight between steering wheel and their legs with these installed. For me they’re great. Anyone who wants the taco to feel more truck like should quit jacking around and get some jackers.

    I didn’t care for them and took them off. I know I’m in the minority here but I think they accentuate the poor seating setup in the Tacoma. I only had like an inch of headroom afterwards and the seating position was too high.I actually think it’s more comfortable stock.I’m 5’9” and 165#. I appreciated the better leg comfort but I think they need a shorter version; 1 1/2 inches is too much extra height in my opinion. Maybe if they come up with an in between version I’ll try again.

    I tried these, took them off after about 400-500 miles of driving. Definitely too tall for me- it put my thighs too close to the underside of the steering wheel. These were not comfortable at all- I’m 6’-1”, 215 lbs for reference.

    It seems like fixing the seating position by making the seat a little lower and increasing the amount that the steering wheel telescopes would be better, but doing that as an aftermarket solution isn’t as easy as bolting in some spacers.

    5"9' 200ish here. One of my favorite mods ever. Whole different feeling after the install. I also like to sit high in my vehicles. I just installed them on the GX with the same results. They feel great. The GX also has way more head room.

    I just installed the front. They’re only about an inch tall but make a pretty dramatic change. Lifting rear also would be something for someone quite short. A little shorter lift would have probably been plenty. I would think too much for anyone over about 5’ 10” or 200 ish pounds. Getting in and out is a bit tight for someone my size but feels good once I’m in. Would be nice if the wheel would telescope another inch aft.
    Mine is a 22 sr dcsb. Did the seats change on later models ? Before getting this truck I had been on a couple short trips in a buddies 2017 or. Maybe I wasn’t using the seat controls correct but they felt very on the floor. Read about the jackers here before getting my 22 and they seemed like a must have but my new truck wasn’t too bad to begin with.

    I installed front jackers about a year ago. Wife and I did a 2200 mile plus trip afterward and were very comfortable. I can’t see installing rears unless you’re fairly small. At 5’11 I have to squeeze in a bit or get my head angle just right “on entry” or I bump it.

    Just did the fronts as well. I didn't need any height, just some extra slope under my thighs
