    6’3” and I added the spacers to my drivers seat. Works very well but I’d still like to get a powered seat someday.

    I recently drove 1080 miles in one day and my big complaint was my lower back. No problem with my butt, legs or heels. What problem do these solve? Maybe I'm too short? I'm 5'11"...

    I am also 5'11" with a 30" inseam, what I feel is the issue is having a bunch of muscles constantly engaged that would usually be relaxed while driving. By raising the front of the seat my body felt much more relaxed.

    FWIW: I feel the Tacoma has an excellent seat back, the seat cushion however is very short in the butt to knee dimension, and on older models without the power seat like my 17 there is absolutely no thigh support.

    Glad you're happy with the driving position. But for many, myself included, feel there is improvement to be made and these offer that.
    Do you have a recliner in your house? Do you find recliners to be more comfortable for sitting? Same principle. Height has absolutely nothing to do with these that I can figure.

    No more I imagine than people worrying about wheel spacers.

    The small price might be worth the gamble. I have a couple bulging discs, so that may be masking other discomforts.

    The Desert Does It units are beautifully made.
    If they don't work out for you just put them on the buy/sell/trade section.
    (I am betting you will keep them though. ;))

    Anyone know how hard the bolts are supposed to be torqued? 14mm and 15mm.

    I should have specified mine did not include instructions. I guess that’s why they were $32.99.

    I might have to actually do this too. From the descriptions of people's problems, this might help me. Albeit I only have issues on INCREDIBLY long drives (1200ish miles) but noticed my leg kinda feels tired - like I've been holding it up the whole time. I usually get around this by using lots of adaptive CC.

    I had them for a while and they made me miserable. They are very well made though and I’m glad they work for so many people, they just weren’t for me.

    Let's be honest, the other ones are probably made in the same Chinese factory.

    I have chronic low back pain and the taco seat position really made it a lot worse. They bring the front of the seat up and take the strain off the lower back by giving your thighs more support. Highly recommend.

    No. They come with a new set of bolts. One set bolts the jacker to the floor, the others bolt the seat to the jacker
