Default Back Seat Raisers?

Hey I know theres a product out there to jack my seats up anywhere from 3-5". I have no idea what they're "officially" called- but it would be pretty tight to know.

I would like to use these to be able to put my subs under my seats. They're 8.5" mounting depth, and i think the stock seat space height is around 7".

Anyways, thanks!

Should be called a seat lift. Check out lmi welding.

I just installed LWI's seat riser last week, solo. a friend would help. The room is great. It really helps keep the Sub Face of the floor. Also clears a bunch of 'breathing' space for any amps mounted on the rear cab wall.

THANK GOD!!!!!! I didnt lift the truck before I installed this. The last time my shins were this banged up from climbing in and out of anything, I was jet skiing for the week. (Or Note Chasing Amy: table conversation at lesbian bar when Amy and Banky discussing s3xual injuries)

NOTE: you DO lose leg room and head room (I know obvious), but the leg room was rather surprising. Not nearly to the point of suicide doors, but Ford was known for storing rhino's back there at your feet.

CONCERN: How do I connect the top portion of the seat back to the rear wall. The riser pushed everything North and I am no longer able to latch. I also need longer bolts for the "seat belt restraint" casing. Will locking this down tight keep the 'upright' seat in place?

well thing is- most the girls i pick up are around higher 5 foot. not really over 6 so. we good and the guys i kick it with.. they can deal with it. haha basically im looking for a 5"-8" seat lift.
- Because my subs are 15" inch s15l7's... HUGE.. they're like 9-10 inches tall. and ill need to shoot for an inch or two over so that i can give some breathing room.

I only drive my truck when im going to parties or to the club gotta get those rep points hahaha!

+----THANK YOU GATOR & SLASH!

what size lift did you get beech?

REP POINTS............. might be the funnier things I've read on here!!!

Mine was only like 2". it was the standard LWI kit.

I am sure you can call them and they'll work something out. The tricky portion is the middle support. Its at an angle so a direct (excuse the reference) 2x2 stilt doesnt work.

individuals with those size subs usually have them in the bed firing in through a whole. BIG BOOM that way. obviously this will be some work done. but its all price comparison. plus in the bed you'll find the airspace necessary to support those beasts!!!

For what it's worth, with S15s I'd pull the seat bottoms and just make your box your "seat" making your friends sit on the box, maybe toss a pillow back there for the ladies though.
