How are these with shorter people? My wife complains about seat discomfort/back pain in the front passenger seat. I think it's because her feet aren't firmly planted and she has to "reach" her legs out to support herself. I'm guessing if that's the case, these will make it worse? Any real word feedback from passengers?
Anyone running seat jackers ?

Hey guys, I'm Steve with DesertDoesIt. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you out with anything.
[MENTION=119664]HanginInUtah[/MENTION] [MENTION=98117]comtn4x4[/MENTION] and [MENTION=209921]gsla72[/MENTION] are right, no need to trim if you're only installing the Seat Jackers. Trimming of the plastic caps is required if you install the MMP w/Seat Jackers or MMP w/Brackets.
Looking forward to contributing more.

I installed the molle panels for the front and back. I didn’t have to trim on the front to put the caps back on. I did have to trim the back caps as well as the husky liners.
They work great for me since my wife and I are “short” (5’10”). Took a day to get use to sitting higher.

I put these in about 2 months ago, just echoing everyone above they have been great.
Took a little bit of in and out to figure out what was comfortable for me, the ability to raise the front of the seat an extra inch and keep the rear low was huge for me.
I'm about 6'3"+- and have a sunroof, so I was very concerned about headroom. These didn't seem to affect anything and helped with legroom/thigh support. Last week I rode in the passenger seat after hiking a 14er with a buddy.. the lack of leg support makes me want to order these for the passengers!

Never knew these seat jackers existed... Missed the sale but just ordered them! Couldn't wait because I always seem to have problems with leg support.

Installed mine last night, went for a drive.... Oh my god what a difference. I'm going to order a set for the passenger side.

Installed mine last weekend. Better height adjustments and definitely more support for the legs.
Still need a really long trip but so far loving it.

I got the MMP w/o the seat jackers for my 4Runner since I find the seating position already quite good. I did however get the seat jackers and MMP for my girlfriends 2nd gen Tacoma and it made a world of difference. She didn't realize how uncomfortable the riding position was until I installed it for her. I honestly hated driving the Tacoma because of the too low seating position but now its very close to the way my 4R sits.

Just installed on the Driver's seat. Worth every penny; I think the passenger seat would benefit a *lot *more as it does not have any angled support, unlike the driver seat.
Stock was insufficient for me - but I was surprised when I first hopped in that it actually enables way too much leg support (for me). I had to adjust the seat / level out some of the new angle. The sweet spot for me is probably 25% of what the new angle the seat jacker enables. Will help for long road trips.
*Only heads up not in this thread or on Youtube, is that I found some of the (4) plastic covers to be a slight pain to remove. The rears were simple enough (removed inner-> outer) but the front cover, closest to the door, needed to be pulled directly out before it would budge. Took me 2 min of cursing to get it. All four snapped back into place easily.

Any shorties in here have feedback? Most people seem to prefer the front adjustment so that they have more support under the thighs. I’m quite the opposite and think even at the lowest (front part adjustable right under the knee) is too much. Hope that made sense. I would prefer less of an angle on legs.
Since I’m short, my seat height is adjusted quite high and closer towards the front of the vehicle. This makes my legs close to a 90 degree bend and not too comfortable. I’m wondering if purchasing just the rears will help the angles of my legs?

I would not see why they would not work.
Tall folks have longer legs, and with the shorter seat bottoms, the seats never reach to the back of the knee like a shorter fella.
You can test it out by removing the two bolts and stacking a bunch of thick fender washers under the rear legs for your test fit.
Like these.

Have you considered the Element Fire Extinguisher? It's smaller than your current unit with no expiration date.

That's what I have installed on mine. Wanted something small and compact. As you stated, as a side benefit no expiration date and they work longer than a typical fire extinguisher. Plus I like to adjust my legs on long road trips while on cruise control and if the back of my heel hit something that would the crap out of me lol

I'm a shortie and thinking a set of the rear spacers might go the trick.
Have to wait and see if anyone has tried this. Anyone short that is.
