I want to raise my front seats.

[Mandelon]

The stock seats are comfy enough but I feel a little low when behind the wheel and want to raise the seats up a couple inches. Can I just unbolt them from the floor, put in a spacer and bolt them back down with longer bolts?

Its an 05 wrangler.

Thanks.

there is a company that makes a product called the "big boy seat" or "tall boy seat", Anyway it is a set of brackets to raise the seat for taller people. I think he claims the seat was lowered by the factory some time during the TJ run to realign the impact zone of the air bag. (?) I find that a little strange as the wheel is adjustable but I guess. anyway http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=133194WD Hardware carries them
65 dollars a seat. thats why I did not order them.

well, they are frickin' talking about rollerblade wheels I thought the yellow book can't be far worse... they do sell real steel spacers and long bolts at most hardware stores....

I recently changed my front seats in the 88YJ. I bought Corbeau "Moab" seats and I sit up at least 2-3 inches taller. That little amount does wonders for seeing better over the hood and out the doors plus some lumbar support.

lol no no not doggin more power too ya, easy fix spacers are cheap what ever you use tell us and how it worked out for ya

[Mr. Orange]

Well, I wasn't put the roller wheels past anybody. Those wheels are quite durable. And have a little cushion to them. :thumbs_up

[Kodiak Spirit]

oh yeah... I didn't think about that cusion angle, maybe somebody shoud make a poly set for the seats, like the 1" body lift guys...

[sahara0207]

remember you want the seat to be able to take a roll over
