When are rear spacers needed?
Hey y’all, looking to get some of these for the leg support.
I’m 6’ 1” and was wondering if the rear spacers are needed for taller people? Or could I just get away with the front seat jackers

I’m confused. When you go to order you get a choice of one pair or two pair. So you get either two or 4 blocks? And do you use two per seat (just in the front)? Or 4 per seat? If 4, and they come in 2s, then you would need to order both pairs quantity 2?

6'2 here . I put them on my driver side. I drop the front power seat all the way down and raise the back up until I feel comfy. I have about 2 inches of headroom leftover and my legs don't hurt anymore on long road trips.
It did take me a week to dial in my seat position and it felt real awkward at first, but worth every penny now.

1 pair per seat to lift the fronts and get more leg support. They also sell a rear lift if you want to do things like mount a compressor under your seat, but if you want leg room on only the drivers side you just need 1 pair.

I just installed them yesterday on both front seats, still dialing in the new seat positions but definitely feels better

Just do it
I purchased a set of jackers for both seats of my 2017 4Runner. The quality is top-notch and very well-built. After installing the driver side I sat in it and I wished I had done this the day I bought it. I’m 6’2” and this instantly made the seats much more comfortable.
Desert Does It really did a great job with these. I also bought a panel so that will be fun to attach stuff to.
Shout out to Deric at Desert Does It for helping me with a small shipping error. I cannot say thanks enough the fast turn around and great product. Excellent customer service all around. I ordered my set and had them within two days.
Will definitely buy from them going forward.
Thanks DDI

Yes...I use seat jackers
I have had some luck, but at just under 6 feet tall, and the sunroof, it's been a balance between NEED and INCONVENIENCE. I have the need because the driver's seat in my TRD PRO isn't comfortable for my lower back, so the seat jackers help alleviate some level of comfort, but the inconvenience of my head always hitting the roof is a pain. They mostly work because they raise our seats to create the false sense of a normal floor (cars that are not 4x4) which allow our legs to dangle in a normal position. Not a problem for a healthy back I presume, but for lower back injuries, it's rough. Not having a lot of luck with it so my last resort is drop major $$$ for a possible Scheel-Mann seat. We'll see. You have nothing to lose by trying them because it's an easy install and if you don't like them just put the seat back in it's normal mounting position. I hope this helps.

I got a set of these during their Memorial Day sale. Just installed them and.....wow! Should've done this right away. Not sure how to describe how immediately different and better the driver's seat feels! It took me longer to get my tools out than installing them. Highly recommend!!!

Is there any way to get these seats any LOWER than stock? My wife and I are both long waisted people and both my sunglasses (atop my head) and her bun hits the headliner.
We need more headroom.

I can't believe anyone can run both. My head can hit the headliner on some bumps.
Just installed a pair of these today. Just did the fronts of the driver seat.
First impression was Wow, but I need to put a few miles on them to know for sure.
Product was high quality and instructions were good. I strongly recommend to follow the instructions closely. I tried to take a shortcut that didn't cost me a lot of time but it certainly didn't save me any time.
From opening the box to throwing away the wrapping total install time was about 20 minutes.
I will add another post to this thread after I spend a few hours in the seats.
2005 Sport. I have power leather seats although the slide mechanism is manual.

As crazy as it seems, I was skeptical. I bought and just installed these and the difference in leg support is night and day. Toyota was just a couple inches short in their calculation. I am 5'10" and had the front height maxed and there was no forward leg support. Now the leg support is proper. If you are short maybe you don't need them but I imagine anyone >5'6" can benefit from these.
Wish I got these sooner.

have had them for over a year now, including a 5k mile drive out to the Badlands and back, and love them.
