Front Seat Jackers

[AzScorpion]

For some reason you sounded a little taller on the internet.

Wrong movie I was in Part 3. ?

Had them for awhile now...used the 3/4 " and now would not be without them.
Pricy...yes, but fit is perfect.
For those of you who say their pricy....how much have you spent on a few pieces of plastic here and there, or a ridiculous amount for a simple factory tie down, or bulbs to replace what is already there to get 7 lumens brighter ?
If you want to use scrap wood to raise the seat, go for it. Seat Jackers are just a small item that makes my Ranger fit me better and make it more enjoyable.

Or adding a CAI to a vehicle that already as a CAI.

I am tempted to 3D print some shims at 100% infill, should cost about 50 cents.

I don't know the exact size but making them 1 1/4 x 2 1/2 x 3/8 solid fill, CURA says 2 1/2 hours, 29 grams, $0.60.
I didn't know that they had a taper to them, and that they interlocked, which explains some of the cost.

I think we ought to call these seat level kits for those who don’t like the raked stance and elevated rear.

I have never had an issue with sliding out of the seat (nor have my passengers), but my feet do reach the floor.

That speedo will be the only thing that could possibly save me in that situation!

And funny, the speedo comment makes me think of Brian's comments on using nuts ...

So long as one has a “speedo-meter”!

Oh, now that's very clever and gave me a well-needed chuckle this morning! =D

And probably not something we want to see on the list of deleted items.

This thread makes me wonder... does it apply to the SuperCrew only?
I have certainly seen no such issue with the SuperCab.
Looking back, it seems that most issues seem to apply only to the 4WD and/or SuperCrew models.

That would explain the flawless history of my 2WD SuperCab.
On the other hand, the vast majority of 5G Rangers are SuperCrew and most of those are 4WD, so there is a much bigger sample size.

Ford made the Ranger designed around marketing the 4WD SuperCrew, with plenty of power and a strong chassis ...with good performance, comfort, and reliability.
This REALLY enhanced the 2WD SuperCab Ranger in terms of performance and drivability, being lighter and better sprung and balanced, but it still retains a few of the foibles such as a high stance and a two piece drive shaft.(for examples)
But I regretfully digress.

$80 for $10 worth of material? No thanks. I have plenty of 3/8" scrap steal on a drill press.

$10 worth of material!? More like $1. Then again, we shouldn't be criticizing, the $1500 smartphone I'm using to type this with is only cost Samsung $5 to build and ship. I'm the bigger fool.

Years ago my just paid off F150 was t-boned and totaled. The only thing I could find was a F350, two years newer, ex government car, but paint looked worn. I raised and tilted the rear bench nearly an inch to get more storage under and behind. Mostly carrying the kids and boy scouts, so they never noticed.
BTW gave her to my brother-in-law for an exterior detail, and the paint looked factory fresh. Wife was very happy.

I would never do this in the front seat.... definitely find somewhere more private

 

[RAYJAY]

any one have measurements on these was just wondering how much taper on these ?/

 

[Jason B]

If I knew the length of the rails, and the height you wanted, I could figure out the angle. It probably isn't much and may not really be needed.
For example, if the rail is 20" long, a 1/2" spacer would result in 1.4deg. On a 2" long spacer, the high side would be 0.5", the low side 0.45". A 3" spacer the low side would be 0.425".

One of the best movies ever!

One of the best movies ever!

There was a radio program that had the cast call in pranks to places, threatening to 'whoop someone's ass'. The catch phrase was "well, how big of a boy are you"

Any one else dealt with raising the drivers seat with spacers? The missus could use an extra couple of inches (hold your comments please….?) and currently has a cushion which negates the whole heated seat dealie.
I see Amazon is awash in seat spacers, but how do they work in the real world?
Any other ideas??
