Lower seat for 3rd Gen 4Runner

[BlewWest]

Hello all,

I love my 4runner with moonroof and my head hits the headliner. So I tilt the seat back and my back starts hurting after 1 hour driving. I've decided to explore all options to lower my seat because SoCal takes awhile to get anywhere.

My goal is to lower overall seat height and extra overall comfort for lower back which might include thigh support. It seems the powered seats more ways to adjust for maximum comfort. I might need to hire welder to lower the overall bracket too.

I'm looking at the following:
Recaro Ergomed or Orthoped - thigh support
BMW Sport Seat - thigh support
Nissan Altima, Murano, Roque with Zero Gravity seat

Any thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks

I would love to see where this thread goes, as I have to recline the seat as well to be comfortable.
