    I bought a set and as much as I wanted to like them, the front height increase just made it too uncomfortable. Leg support was definitely there as that was the product's intention. However, being just 5'8", if my posture was correct (not slouching), the top of my head is literally touching the fabric up top. Do note, I do have the premium off road with sunroof so my head room is slightly less than those without it. I actually ended up removing them and moved back to stock. Sorry for the random post!

    Lol didn't even think about the misleading title! I could've sworn the product was called Seat Jackers!

    Yeah, I think you're right about the brand name. It wasn't that misleading. It's just Friday & i'm f'n off before I leave work. Enjoy the weekend, buddy. :cheers:

    I can understand that.
    If you’re over 6 feet tall with longer legs, the seat is moved back where it will be a bit lower.
    At 6’2” and long legs I have maybe an inch of clearance for my head. The front blocks made a huge, positive difference in seat comfort and support for extended driving time.

    I thought that you were perhaps doing something strange in the seat.

    I suppose they're just not designed for the shorter folks! The only way for my head to not be touching the top is if I slouch, which is clearly not good posture. I tried moving the seat a little further back, but then I end up reaching for the steering wheel. I'm pretty sure the designers had very short upper torso with long ass arms and very long legs

    For what it’s worth these have made my seat so much more comfortable that I no longer want a power seat. Far better than stock! Im 6’3” with a 35” inseam. No sunroof here (they rattle too much).

    My 2004 tundra sunroof did and my 2018 4Runner sunroof rattles. Only off-road but it gets super annoying when/if you stuck on a dirt road for awhile. Didn’t want to chance it on the Tacoma. If you don’t believe me search the interwebs and see how many posts you find.

    I’m about 5’ 10” and I tried the seat jackers out, ended up removing them as I felt the same as the op. Anyone local to Charlotte, NC I have a set of DDI jackers I’ll sell
