Rear Seat Lift Kit for Subwoofer Installs
Follks,
I understand that this company, LMI Welding, now has a rear seat relocation kit that moves the rear seats in our SCabs and SCrews. This kit shifts them 2" forward.
They also have a kit that raises them about two inches.
I haven't seen it in person but, if the math is correct, you should be able to fit a JL Audio 12" sub enclosure behind the rear seat.
I've only seen it referenced on FB and can only find the lift kit on their website. However, interested parties can contact them to check pricing.

Where'd you see the 2" forward modification? All I'm seeing 2 1/2" lift on their site and FB. I'm trying to get two shallow JL 10's behind the seat and getting that extra 2" would be very helpful.

Someone posted it on a Facebook group that I belong to. F150 Sound Quality Installs or some such. You'd have to contact the manufacturer to get the details since it's not yet posted on their site.

Unless there has been a change...... the LMI kit only relocates the bottom cushion forward and up, the seatback stays where it is. FWIW, with the lift I was able to get three 10" Alpine Type-R's under the rear seat.

I have a 2017 Lariat Screw and put int 2 JL Audio 10TW3 Shallow Subs with custom box behind the rear seats. I did not want to lose the floor space under the seats, and needed the seats to stay up and lock without hitting the subs. I had to go fiberglass custom box and trim some foam off the back of the seats, and the seat bars were still *JUST* touching the Subs when the seats were fully up, so I added a couple of protector bars on each side of the subs about 3/8 inch past the sub so the bar on the seat would rest against the sub protector bars. The seats still close and lock with a very small amount of extra push! See attached pics....

Really nice work. How do they sound? I got everything ready to go except the FIX 86 (the 2 JL shallows, HD750 mono amp, parrot harness, polk components front and coaxles back and 125 x 4 amp) about to start looking for an installer. Feel like I've been driving around forever gathering and saving to get a system put in. Got my truck in August, had to get the wheels and tires first and that set me back a little.

If you consider under the seat rather than behind you can fit 2 10" or 12" subs under the screw backseat without a lift. I have the setup in mine. Buy this box. They build good stuff. You will make contact with the top of the box on your seat but it doesn't press overly hard. Ive also raised my floor up by 3/4" with a combination of dynamat and dynapad directly under the sub box (1/4" dynamat and 1/2" dynapad). I didn't alter the seats or the stock carpet at all.

If you want harder base though get the deep box with the lift. Allows you to run regular depth subs. I find mine to be loud enough with a pair of shallow 12" kickers running on a 1200 watt kicker class d amp.
