Hi all, I figure if I'm gonna get an answer for this it will be on here. I have an 09 STX SCAB with a jump seat (finally, my dream truck!) HOWEVER....I'm a shorter guy, about 5'8" and the manual adjust seat sits just a tad low for my liking and comfort. I'm wondering if there's a way to raise my seat and eventually all of the front seats to match the height. My ideas so far are to place some sort of spacer underneath the frame of the seat, but I want to do this as safely as possible. Any thoughts or people with the same problem?

Phone book, sorry I had to, the only other thing to do is refoam or try using washers and space it up.

Washers would work but you might need to beef up the seat bolts to accommodate the additional distance to the threads.

I was thinking about washers but would that compromise safety?

Also what's refoaming?

He means to make the seat foam thicker to raise your *** up.

Haha thanks, how do you go about that?

Im little bit shorter than you, i have no complain with my seat height... umm well idk maybe im used to it?

I honestly havent look f150 seats, but if you can fab some brackets and find bolts, that might works. I know there is a ebay seller selling seats lift for sierra/silverado owners but i dont see anything for f150 owners.

Best bet would be an upholstery shop.

And as far a using washers for spacers ... Would recommend solid, billet aluminum pads made slightly larger than the seat mounts' foot-prints in the thickness of the desired height.
