Seat Jacker recommendations?

Can't drive a JL/JT without them. That and a dead pedal

i tried them, a bit too much incline for me. i replaced them with 3 or 4 washers and its right on the money.

Benefits of being 5'9". I have the seat all the way down, and it's perfect for me.

I'm 6'4, I tried them but still wasn't entirely comfortable with the stiff seats. I bought one of these cushions instead and even with it, I still have enough headroom, legroom increased due to the seat angle and have no issue with knee clearance hitting the steering wheel while operating the clutch..... plus it makes 200+ mile drive very comfortable

I am only 5’8” (with a shorter inseam) and I have been using them for a couple years. I use them to boost the seat angle as others have suggested. It does improve leg support and overall seating position (help to keep you back in your seat) on longer trips. It makes it a longer stretch to the skinny pedal, but with ACC it is not an issue. It is not the perfect angle for everyone, since it is a fixed amount of rise), but it does help.

Keep Jeep’n

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone use/recommend the seat jackers? Wondering if they do improve comfort.

Thank you.

See response #101 (https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...tom-seat-tilt-angle.16771/page-7#post-1311233)

This solution is much more subtle and cheaper

Yes, and definitely yes. I purchased a set, still in the plastic wrap, from a fellow forum member for a fair price. This allowed me to avoid paying the comical list price.

Raising the front of the seat cushion had a material effect on my comfort during longer drives. With a 35" inseam, I had to do something.

If you want to experiment before clicking Buy Now, use several stacked washers to mimic the effect of the Seat Jackers. Maybe they'll work well enough to leave them in place, thus allowing an increase in comfort for pennies on the dollar.

Yes, I have had them in my two JL's, My JK and my TJ. The JL seat at stock front height feels like I am falling off the seat. A set of those will raise the seat and provide more support for your legs. Make sure you get the JL ones.

Great! Thank you.

But the seat already has a way to raise up, or are you wanting to go higher than that?

Mostly just the front of the seat. Feels a bit low.

I've had them in my 2021 with cloth seats and it was more comfortable with the seat jackers. As the other poster mentioned, it felt like I was falling forward out of my seat. With the jackers, it felt better.

I did upgrade to a 2025 with the nappa power seats. On these, you can adjust the tilt and it's much more comfortable to the point where I'm not going to need them.

Not sure what you have but I did notice a difference between the seats.

Just a sport. So, no power seats.

Might give the washers a try first.

Thank you.

Absolutely made a big difference for the wife and I…… but I made my own, all in about $ 8.00 ish…….

We have a set in each of our JL’s.

I have DDI Seat Jackers in my JL with manual seats and recommend them.

I agree with the consensus view in the previous posts, and don't have much to add except:

The product has made a significant difference in my comfort in 2 different vehicles. I also used them in a 5th Gen 4runner with automatic seats. For me, they were a very nice upgrade to the 4R, but a nearly essential one for the JL (after Seat Jackers install in both, the JL is the more comfortable vehicle).

A little pricey for what they are, but they made a big difference in comfort. By pitching the front end up that small amount, you feel more planted in the seat sitting in it rather than on it.
