The goal is to have them ready to ship in late May. These are a priority but there's a lot of R&D in order to get them ready to sell to the masses. The last thing we want to do is rush something like this. Measure 5 times, verify fitment 5 times, run a prototype in a Jeep or two for some time then start selling.Seems taking a long time. ETA to customers?
I'm thinking seriously to build it myself
Pricing is still TBD but both options will be less than $200 per seat. Option 1 will be closer to $150 shipped and option 2 will be closer to but not more than $200 shipped.
Option 2 will not need the shims in the back. Why more expensive?OPTION 2 Drop Combos (MAX DROP):
-Drop Combo 2A - Front Seat Jacker (.75") no shims in back (2" total rear drop). Seat Bottom Angle is 22.5 Degrees (factory is 11.5 degrees)
Option two would be more expensive because it includes the front seat jackers. These are required in order to drop the rear of the seat the full 2 inches. If there's one thing we've learned from selling seat jackers for the last two plus years it's that no one person is the same and they will need to shim up or down to get the right position. This is already a very convoluted kit and breaking it up into two kits is going to be a pain but gives the end user the most options. Option two will include four shims (two per side).
Can you please make a package which would include like 2 of whichever option is chosen for a discounted rate?
Great idea. We could include the shims for one seat and they could be used on either seat.Can you please make a package which would include like 2 of whichever option is chosen for a discounted rate?
Maybe like buy first one full price and if you want to get the second at the same time it’s half off. That way both front seats can have the matching height and angle.
Just a thought. I originally though I’d only need this for my seat since I’m so tall but turns out my wife would love it for her side too to make the seat more comfy for long Jeep adventures
I would take two of option 2A (max drop)
Hey guys, pictures below for those that are asking.
We are a solid 3 weeks out on machining these and another 2 weeks on powder so its looking like a late May 2021 release. Once we start machining them, I will get a presale going.
For anecdotal info only, our Toyota Tacoma/4Runner/GX Seat Jackers put the factory seats at a 22 degree angle and a lot of folks seem to really enjoy them.
OPTION 1 Drop Combos:
-Drop Combo 1A - No shims in front would require 1" of shims in back (1" total rear drop). Seat Bottom Angle is 16.5 Degrees (factory is 11.5 degrees)
-Drop Combo 1B - .25" shim used in front would allow only .5" or .75" of rear shims to dial in comfort (1.25" or 1.5" total rear drop). Seat Bottom Angle is 18 Degrees (factory is 11.5 degrees)
OPTION 2 Drop Combos (MAX DROP):
-Drop Combo 2A - Front Seat Jacker (.75") no shims in back (2" total rear drop). Seat Bottom Angle is 22.5 Degrees (factory is 11.5 degrees)
-Drop Combo 2B - Front Seat Jacker (.75") variable rear shims to dial in rear drop (1" to 2" total rear drop)
*No pics but you can use the shims shown in 2A to dial in the rear height.
Happy to field any questions or comments.
Thanks,

I’m guessing it won’t be compatible. Good news is adding rake to the seat will make it feel further back because it will pull your knees away from the petals as the seat bottom angle increases.I'm good for an order of either 2A or 2 B. I just hope they work with my Misch 4x4 Big Boy extension brackets, I need to be lower and further back. Maybe you guys should look into making a design that does both for a all-in-one solution.
How do you guys ship to Canada? I don't see any shipping info on your website. I can tell you that Misch 4x4 uses the cheapest UPS option but it ended up costing me an extra $60 when it arrived for a brokerage fee. RokBlokz on the other hand, used a faster UPS method that included, tax, brokerage and all other fees. Much simpler and cheaper in the end for me.
I cannot wait to get these brackets, tired of my head rubbing on the freedom panel!!
