SuperCab Rear seat

SuperCab Rear seat
So I generally demand a very clean vehicle, and having the truck so far, has been far from that. There is simply nowhere on my supercab to keep all the truck things that I keep in the cab like tie downs, the hitch *****, etc. Unfortunately the rear seat clearance is abysmal, and half the floor is already taken up by the lazy jack and hardware. I also had a desire to possibly put in a subwoofer, but the same problem arises as the clearance heavily limits box and sub possibilities.
I have been toying with the idea of lifting the rear seats a few inches. It looks like there isn't any clearance issue with the headrests, and the back would barely be at the rear window. Just curious if anyone else has done this, and if so, what issues might I have. I was going to simply add a spacer in everywhere the seat bolts to the floor, and use longer bolts.
This would allow me to put a subwoofer on one side, and build in two storage boxes, one in the middle, and one on the opposite side.

I don't think I have any latches. The supercab seats don't pivot forward, only the bottom pivots up. And the seatbelt I believe is attached to the seat itself, not the cab.

Yes, they do pivot forward/down. And there is some space behind them for a little bit of storage. No space in the bed for tools and whatnot?

I believe it depends on the year of truck the OP has. My 2010 SuperCab XLT rear seat back does NOT tilt forward--only the seats themselves pivot up. The seat back actually hook down onto metal tabs under the window.
Also, there is no room (at least in a 2010) for any storage back there, especially if you have the sliding rear window--the motor is centered behind the seat back.

My rear seat does not seem to pivot forward. I have a '13 XLT 5.0. The only lever pivots the seat bottom up for access to the tools. And the seat is RIGHT ON the back of the cab, no room whatsoever for storage.

Sub in the foreground, Ford under seat storage box on the other side with a couple trailer *****, ratchet straps, ****** block, recovery straps, jack and jack rod and a few other misc items.

I have the same seat you do. My issue is spending so much on boxes. And I like making things. I saw a nice quad cab truck with an MDF storage box with the carpet, and I really like how it looked. If I was to make a box like that, I would just as soon raise the seat a bit, and get some extra room. Plus, going homemade the the box allows me full control of its compartments, and layout of the sub and amp

I can understand where you're coming from, I prefer factory look and never have enough time or patience to build anything, I use to build boxes and amp'd speakers when I was a teen about a hundred years ago, lol.
