    A side by side comparison would have been good to see.

    I'm 6'0" and noticed on Day 1 that the front of the electric seat wouldn't go as high as I'd like it to. It wasn't bad, and if I'd never heard about Seat Jackers I would have called it "good enough" for years to come.

    After adding seat jackers to the driver's seat, it's definitely more comfortable. If I had it to do over, I'd definitely spend that $100 again.

    Maybe it’s just me but I wouldn’t buy Chinese knockoffs when you’re talking safety equipment. If they use a poor quality material you could be in the windshield during an accident.

    Seat jackers helped for me but removing that god awful pressure plate in the middle of your back helped much more.

    Enough for now
    It’s a shame the DDI design was copy Catted hopefully there aren’t any safety concerns.

    Huge improvement for both driver and passenger seat positions especially on trails. I’m interested in if people added them to their electronically controlled seats

    You can see 50g acceleration in an otherwise survivable crash. So if you and the seat weigh 200lb...now you weigh 10,000lb.

    I'd have safety concerns about any of these things...but absolute no thanks on knockoffs.

    I have the "real" Seat Jacker from DDI (Front and Rear). I put them on my 21 and definitely noticed the difference. Glad I got them.

    At 5'6 I didn't think I needed the front Jackers. I remember reading that a slight rear lift would help with over the hood view for us short bastards.
    I made a pair of ~1 inch lift tubes for the rear. Made a big difference in me for not only vision but, for what ever reason, I can now get the electric seat more comfortable.

    No comfort issues with my electric drivers. Maybe it's because I grew up on a farm riding cows.

    I'm thinking the rear seat mount bolts are what's going to keep you from hitting the windshield...or the airbag.
