    If you add the rear ones as well, how does that help, as it would just raise the seat equally ... I can see how the front ones would help by elevating the front, thus offering an incline to better leg contact...

    I would bet that in a few years I will need to rebuild the seats. I am not impressed at all. My 2017 Tacoma seats were already flat by the time I traded it.

    I guess the best thing to do is just keep an eye open for possible ways to upgrade the cushioning and shape.

    If you don't want to install seat jackers, buy a memory foam pad and cut it as a wedge, then you just buy some seat covers that will stretch over the pad.

    Yes. Lifts FRONT of seat. Not the "ass" portion of a seat. As the seat pivots on an angle, your head does not go any higher. If you were to lift front and back of seat, then head space may be compromised.

    The angle under my legs changed enough to support them better. I dont know how or why but my combination of Front, Back and extra lumbar now works for me and makes longer drives a pleasure

    Front only... Make a world of difference on long road trips. Used to have to stop at least a couple of times during a 5-6 hour trip and stretch legs... Now it's only once to shake the dew off the lily... Legs don't bother anymore

    I wonder this. I have them in my taco and like them a lot but I’m 5’9” and 165. Seems like it would get tight for anyone larger. Does anyone know if the seats changed on later models ? Mines a 22 and wasn’t bad before the jackers (can’t say jackers without laughing) been a while but felt like I was sitting on the floor in a buddies 17. Was the reason I had mine bought before the truck showed up. Was ok without them, but prefer with.
    Jackers :rofl:

    I’m 6’3 260 lbs, purchased the front seat jackers from desert does it and it made a world of difference for me. The back part of my thighs don’t really feel funky anymore. I did not raise the back end of the seat nor do I plan on it. I bought another set of desert does it seat jackers for the passenger side as well.

    Bought the knock off ones for 1/3 the price. Other people are reporting they are exactly the same, so, let's find out when they arrive and hopefully they are worth it

    Installed them on my 22 today. Took me longer to vacuum under the seats than the install itself. I installed fronts and rear shims(shortest) and they are no less than awesome. Bad news is, now I have to buy them for my other 2 Tacomas.

    My problem hasn't really been that my legs hurt, it's my lower back. No amount of trying to dial in the motorized controls seems to work, either. I think my issue is the foam on the seat is much too hard for my bony rear. I'm going to try a softer aftermarket seat cover and if that doesn't work, maybe Katzkins. The motor controls allow me to lift the front and drop the rear of the seat enough for my legs to be ok. I'm 5'11 and 180lbs.

    I'm not much taller... concerned about the same issue on seat... (Between tacos, I had a Frontier Pro X - bought low milage used and it already had that happening on seat bolster - it only got worse). On "West Coast Taco's " YouTube he's a fan of these:

    They are soft - like my wife and her love of mattress pads on top of mattress w/ soft pad already on(!) - but they do little for the edge of seat protection and I found them too hot/warm - I don't like "hot" - I barely run seat heater in dead of winter - I also missed the feel of Toyota's fake leather of the seat (the pad is cloth). Did I mention I don't like hot?.

    Returned it and got these. Good fit, they stay put, and will protect much better on sides. I have red accents on my OR - the red will go w/ your Pro. They do have all black:
