Thanks

I just ended up using stacked 2 mm washers for a total of 1/2". This definitely helped but it could still use more tilt.
If I went a little higher, what size bolts are recommended

I used M10x1.5x40mm for 1/2" of lift, but be careful about the head size because it must fit down inside the recess of the seat rail. Also be careful about lifting it too much because it puts the rear bolts at an angle and it becomes unsafe at some point.

Hmmm... have owned 2 JK's both leather optioned and I find the JL leather option seats much superior? My last JK was a 2012, maybe I've forgotten, I'm older! LOL ;)

Go jeep!!!

The Bronco seats should be pretty comfy. Most Ford seats are nice and big

This may have already been said, but If you plan on keeping it (the Jeep), put the lumbar in full out position then, roll a towel up and attach it about 6 inches above the seat to the back of your seat back, that should help keep your back straight (keep from slouching) and butt out when driving. and don't take baclofen (as suggested above), you will be getting into a whole other set of problems.....:)

Or for $50 you could add this: https://www.quadratec.com/products/...Km-4vS9XpoUjHq6NHOzXVtaTVIyYKfXwaAmRIEALw_wcB

Installation on a Rubi is pretty easy (easy to get the back panel off).

I actually plan to see how the Mojave seats are. If they are any better I will try and swap mine out. It looks like they will be similar, but even a slight change could make a difference. The biggest selling point for me with the Bronco is how nice the seats look. With my back and knee issues, seats are also a big deal for me. I wish I could put a set of Grand Cherokee Trailhawk seats in my Wrangler. Those were nice

Not 100% sure, but I think they are too wide. I did find a set of newer Camaro seats that were really close and almost bought to experiment with. However they are also not the most comfortable so decided to pass.
