I am 6'4" and when I drive my drivers leg is bent at a 90% angle. This was not so bad when I first got the my Wrangler JL (Willys) earlier this year, although I did not take any long road trips.
Then July 1 I had a partial right knee replacement. It has been a long recovery and my leg is still stiff and starts to ache after about 30 minutes in such a bent position. Because of that I have rarely used my new Jeep other then quick trips to the store. If I had 3 or 4 more inches of leg room I think I would be golden.
I searched around and saw the thread on seat slammers here. They seem to lower the seat but do not move seat back farther and are a major, non reversible install. I am not sure they would work for me.
Searching Amazon I found this seat bracket extender https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08WWLB7H7/
It looks to be an easy install and would give me 5 extra inches of leg room. With that much leg room I could take my Jeep out for an hour drive. Reading the reviews, it raises the height of the seat. Currently, with seat back and in full down position, I have about 1 inch between my noggin and the roll bar. So not sure if that is will be a problem. Maybe with seat back, roll bar won't get in the way?
Any other options out there?
