Seat jackers

[Opus]

Why are jeeps made for midgets, thats my real question. Americans arent getting smaller, ugh

I experience this every time I put the doors back on. Suddenly, I feel like I'm driving a Smart Car...

I went jackers, then slammers. 6'4" and unlike my wife, more torso than legs. Head would hit the crossbar.

I dig what you're saying -- I'm also 6'4" -- but each successive Wrangler generation is also growing. The interiors are themselves getting more cramped, though, as dashboards, door panels and center consoles continue to expand. I say this because the interior of my YJ actually felt more roomy...but that era of Wrangler wasn't encumbered with acres of bloated plastic, either.

How much worse it might be with the next-gen JM Wrangler, we don't yet know.

Why does it look like both Jeeps are listing to the right?

I did the seat slammer “cut off” on my 24 and could not be happier… super great guys to boot. I’m 6’4 and my head was touching the sound bar all the time before the mod and could not see all the gauges

Like a lot of other guys, I did the Seat Jackers first, and then did the Seat Slammers about a year? later.

Im only 6'2" but I am finally comfortable in the Jeep, and feel like Im sitting IN the seat instead of ON the seat.

Worth it 100%, wish I had done it 4 years ago when I bought the Jeep.

I have the Seat Jackers and they definitely improved my ride but I am 6’2” so not a lot of help. If you are handy or have some close that is handy, you could fab a couple small blocks of wood to simulate the feel.

I’m not saying drive around with them but loosen the two rear bolts and remove the front two bolts enough to slide the wooden blocks and sit in the seat and see how it feels before investing in the Jackers as you know, are not cheap and I don’t think they are returnable IIRC.

Well I decided to go a bit different route and finagled this together. The dead pedal was still too far back so I added a second LOL. It's a little janky maybe but I was definitely more comfortable driving on my little test drive tonight. If I start noticing issues I might give the shorty blocks a shot.

Never seen a gas pedal spacer before. I guess I haven't been around enough short people?
