Anyone know if they make seat risers for us? I was thinking 1"

You can buy longer bolts and just put washers under the rear of the seat brackets. Had to do that to fit my amp under the pass seat, but will just take measurements and machine some spacers at work when I get around to it.

:shrug: Just something to think about when doing this, it is basically like a body lift. In a crash, the seat could break from the mounts and you would then be a loose object in the cab.

Not saying don't do it, just saying it because the thought might not have crossed your mind man. :thumbup:

If you buy longer bolts and make sure they are Grade hardware you should be alright for crash standards or purposes!

All good points guys, I'll browse through our 10.9 selection at work. If it's metric I could go 12.9.
I think if it's securely tightened with the 1" pucks it should be safe just a slightly longer bolt there. IMO
I'm looking at this because the seat feels to close to the floor, If I move my feet closer the seat I feel I have to bend my knee too much. As if the only comfortable position is with my feet completely stretched all the way forward. Any one else feel this way?
