$80 for a piece of candy awe yeah.
Post how those help-I bought a set as well, but I have my driver's seat pretty much dialed in now. I hate to go backwards and try to adjust again. I'm not sure if those can be installed on the rear feet-as for me this would be where I would need to adjust up, to give me that forward tilt without having the seat all the way up.
I finally figured out (power seat) anyways that if you take it all the way up (then you can rock the seat bottom) up and down (tilt) just a small amount - BUT you have to have in in the full up position before it will allow it. Luckily, I'm short so it is now in a semi-comfortable position
I have the Jackers as a backup (right now) - I may try them anyways-IDK

I actually put these on my truck last weekend. Stumbled upon them just googling accessories for our Rangers then a search here shined light on them a couple members have them installed.
I used all 4 blocks-2 each side driver seat only. Night and day difference in seating comfort. I got the leather seats and they’re beautiful and all but I couldn’t get comfortable no matter how I tried adjusting the seat. I felt like I was always sliding forward-especially when coming to a stop.
I’m 5’7 and all 4 blocks hit the sweet spot for me.
Pricey- yes but a worthwhile investment for the truck Imho

Not as "Clean" looking, but a lot more light. Here was my solution; some old flood pods, a couple of mending plate brackets, and some unused running board mounting points (the photo of the light was only powered via a 9volt for testing). Being tucked up between the frame and cab chassis, it would have to take a precise direct hit (and I don't rock crawl) to get damaged. Even if damaged it was old parts anyhow. I got a box full of these things lol! Going to wire them to a relay then use the factory courtesy light input as a trigger wire.

If your seat is comfortable, no need to install. Our Rangers have pretty good thigh support. I learned of these from a Tacoma mod video. My wife loves to have her seat leaned way back like a deep bucket seat so those helped her get a really comfy position in the passenger seat.

I placed them on the driver side too for comfort and a tiny bit of height (only about half an inch - I used both parts on each seat for maximum angle and lift - but it only liftts the front - for Tacomas they have rear lifts too, but that kind of negates the greater angle for a deeper bucket feel).

I don't know how big a difference it made in comfort for me because I only had a few 100 miles on the Ranger when I did it. But after a 6-hour road trip last week, I had no complaints on my seat (and my butt typically does start to give out after an hour).

Installing them was easy for most folks. I've never pried apart trim, so it was challenging for me and I didn't use a lot of patience. But ... it was straightforward. Remove the front two bolts completely and loosen the rear quite a bit, then lift, slide in, and line up.

There will be a gap in the front trim equal to the height of the jackers. I never notice it and other members has added black foam to hide the gap.

I just used two pieces instead of all four. I feel it definitely helped me.

Got this awesome leather key fob cover from etsy!

(This is "patina blue")

Fits very snugly and the button overlays are precise, buttons are not any harder for me to press than without the leather cover. Cover doesn't rub against the ignition one bit! 5 stars, highly recommend. After seeing how nice it is in person I ordered a second one for my other key in patina orange with the Ranger logo on it so I have a complete "splash package".

One note if you want to get one - they are made by hand in Vietnam so they give you an estimate of 3-4 weeks for delivery and I believe mine arrived just shy of 3 weeks. They provide tracking but it doesn't activate until the item hits the states and customs receives it so for a few days mine just said "awaiting item in Dallas."

This forum and the Graphene Cult Leader (not to name names, but @AzScorpion may know to whom I am alluding, just sayin') have led me down a path of taking pride in the appearance of my Ranger. Gone are my carefree days of just having a vehicle that I simply use. Now an amazing shine is a part of who I am and a "reflection" of my character.

The only thing deeper than my new-found vanity is the reflection from Soupie's race red Graphene-enhanced exterior (I may be more concerned about keeping it shiny outside, but the Husky floor mats are still a muddy disaster, as they should be!). =D

My metro-conversion therapy is nearly complete, having received this special 75th anniversary edition of a super, duper, wax on/'wax off stuff.
