Installation Instructions
Important Notes
- To help prevent cross-threading, always start bolts by hand and verify they thread smoothly into the corresponding hole.
- Use Blue Loctite on all hardware.
- If you are installing the MMP and Seat Jackers together, please call 702-381-1804 before installation.
Step 1 — Remove Factory Seat Bolts
- Remove the plastic trim from the seat base bolts.
- Remove both front factory seat base bolts.
- Loosen the two rear seat bolts, but do not remove them.
Step 2 — Lift the Front of the Seat
- Lift the front of the seat by pushing back on the headrest.
- Alternatively, have a helper sit in the back seat and gently pull the headrest toward them.
Step 3 — Install Seat Jackers
- With the front of the seat lifted off the mounting points, use the supplied black flathead cap screws to attach the Seat Jackers to the vehicle floor.
- Make sure the DDI engraving faces forward.
- Torque the black flathead cap screws to 25 ft-lbs.
- Install the two 4mm Allen-head set screws into the threaded holes on each side of the Seat Jacker.
- Tighten the set screws until they press into the carpet. Do not overtighten.
- The set screws should sit just below flush with the Seat Jacker block.
Step 4 — Install Seat onto Seat Jackers
- Carefully lower the seat onto the Seat Jackers.
Choose Your Lift Height
- 0.75" Lift: Use the lower mounting holes on the Seat Jackers.
- 1.25" Lift: Use the upper mounting holes on the Seat Jackers.
- Use the provided zinc flange bolts and zinc washers to fasten the seat to the Seat Jackers. Finger-tighten only at this time.
IMPORTANT — ALIGNMENT TIP:
If the seat rail holes do not line up:
- Lift the seat rail approximately ¼ inch.
- Start the bolt a couple of threads by hand.
- If needed, adjust the seat rails independently until the holes line up.
- Never force or cross-thread the bolts.
MMP INSTALLATION:
If installing the Seat Jackers and MMP together, use the bolts provided with the MMP to attach the MMP brackets through the seat leg and into the Seat Jacker.
Step 5 — Torque All Bolts
- Torque the two zinc flange bolts to 25ft-lbs.
- Torque the rear seat bolts to 75ft-lbs.
- Reinstall any removed plastic trim.
Step 6 — Get Comfortable
You're done! Sit down, get comfortable, and enjoy your new seating position.
Final Check
• Verify all bolts are properly torqued.
• Confirm the Seat Jackers are securely mounted to the vehicle floor.
• Make sure the set screws are just below flush and not overtightened.
• Check bolt torque at regular intervals.
