Default Raising rear seats?

I've been told there is an aftermarket bracket that will raise the rear seats in order to fit a larger sub/box. Is there a kit you can purchase or did someone fabricate their own brackets? If there's a kit I need one for an 06' Screw.

I'd really hate to spend that kind of money unless I have to. I mean it's just a "C" type bracket out of steel right. Anyone else using a different method using parts from a lowes or Home Depot?

Here are some pics of the LMI kit. There is more to it than first meets the eye.
It is not just some angle or channel.

Wow! I can imagine that these angles and what not aren't tested and specific to safety but good point.
