Seat Jackers. Get them. Seriously.

Curious to know if the 10-way power adjustable seats would still have a noticeable increase in comfort with these things?

Has anyone done this with an SR5?

 

I got the same question...

 

Same question bright me here... Search of TW also brought me here

 

Do these do anything with powered seats?

 

Question , if I was to use them in the front only, do I only take front bolts off or do all bolts have to be removed or loosened to install front spacers?

 

Remove front and loosen back. You will need to tip the seat up to get the Jackers in place.

 

Got a pair coming tomorrow..going on a trip next week. I'll see if they are worth the money or not. I had rear 1" seat spacers in but they didn't help so I sold those...hopefully the front ones work!

 

Front jackers did wonders for my 2015! I'm 6'4" with 36" inseam, took pressure off such that I don't have you stop every two hours to stretch and give my knees a break... Can make 5-6 hours with barely a stop to top off the petrol

 

I'm thinking that a 10-way power adjustable seat "should" be able to get into a comfortable position, but can definitely see these being a benefit for the regular mechanical-sliding seats.

 

I’ve had the Jackers front and rear for a couple years now. 2020 with power seat. I’m average height, so the six foot stuff doesn’t apply.

I like them because they help put the seat into a more truck-like position. I’ve owned Kenworths and several full-sized pickups. All of them sat me upright and forward on the wheel, which I like. The Tacoma seating was low and laid back, which I hated. The Jackers, along with the electric seat, fixed that.

 

I have the power seats and the seat jacks do make a difference in the front. With them installed, it doesn't change the range the that the seat moves up and down, just the starting point. For example, before it would have been from 6"-10" and now it would be like from 8"-12". Hope that makes sense.

 

Yes- definitely. I installed them on the fronts of my (power) driver and passenger seats. The true test was driving 550 miles to New Hampshire and back on the same day. I couldn’t be happier with the overall seat comfort, especially considering the criticisms the Taco receives in this area.

 

A lot of positive feedback from the taller crowd. What about the vertically challenged? 5’6” here, same positive benefits?

 

I've now had front Jackers installed for a week or so (300-400 miles), and I think they're helping. Still playing with seat position a bit.
They don't fix the one thing that would help general positioning the most: a steering wheel that tilted a little higher and extended farther out toward me.
They also don't fix the goofy shapes of the seat bottom and back. Makes me wonder if other (earlier) years' seats would be better (don't know), or even if a 4Runner seat would mount easily in its place. (My wife's '21 4R seats are much more comfortable.)
This product seems like a good idea, but it won't make everyone instantly happier.

 

I debated the cost but figured I could sell if I didn’t like them. Bit the bullet and ordered from Desert Does It. Won’t be selling.

Added these last week for powered driver seat. Great if you like sitting high, not so much if you don’t. I like the “command” position, easier for me to see what’s going on around me. The new seat position also gives me more support and makes the seat more comfortable.

I’m 5’10” and 160# with a 31” inseam. Install is stupid easy, less than 5 minutes.

 

Despite my comments on the previous page; Front jackers and a steering wheel extension are what I wound up getting. Seating position still isn’t perfect but is much better.
The extension is pricey, and removing the airbag seems scary but it’s well worth it IMO

 

For those who installed both front and back on the driver seat did it still have that lean back feel? I just put the fronts in but for some reason how it sits with just the fronts I really like

 

Older pic, sorry its blury. I have the power seats but still got these(just the fronts). I'm 6'2", more legs than torso. These allowed me to move it up just a bit more past the stock electronic setting and I think it helped. No issues on super long drives with a lack of leg support.
Also smaller reason for getting it was for the MMP so I had a convenient location to mount my Element fire extinguisher.

 

I have power seats in my 21 OR. Seat jackers actually made it worse for me 5’8” 150lbs) and ended up removing them.

 

I am 6’1” and seat jackers are the only thing keeping me from selling my Tacoma. Toyota should be embarrassed by how poorly they designed the seats.
