Seat Jackers Installation Instructions


Before You Start

  • Tools needed: 14mm socket, ratchet
  • A helper is recommended for lifting the seat

IMPORTANT:
To prevent cross-threading, always start bolts by hand and ensure they thread smoothly before tightening.


Step 1 – Remove Front Bolts

  • Remove both front factory seat bolts (14mm socket).
  • Loosen the rear seat bolts almost completely (do not remove).

Step 2 – Lift the Seat

  • Lift the front of the seat by pushing back on the headrest.
  • Or have a helper gently pull the headrest from the rear seat.

Step 3 – Install Seat Jackers (Base)

  • Position each Seat Jacker under the seat rails with the threaded hole facing toward the rear.
  • Loosely install the long fine-thread bolts through the Seat Jackers into the floor.
  • Start all bolts by hand.

Step 4 – Align and Torque Base Bolts

  • Lower the seat so the rails rest on the Seat Jackers.
  • Confirm seat rail holes align with the threaded holes in the Seat Jackers.
  • Torque the long fine-thread bolts to 27 ft-lbs.

Step 5 – Attach Seat to Seat Jackers

  • Install the shorter coarse-thread bolts with provided washers through the seat rails into the Seat Jackers.
  • Start bolts by hand before tightening.

IMPORTANT ALIGNMENT TIP

If the seat rail holes do not line up:

  • Lift the seat rail approximately ¼ inch
  • Start the bolt a few threads
  • Adjust the seat rails one at a time until aligned

Step 6 – Final Torque

  • Torque all front and rear seat bolts to 27 ft-lbs.

Final Check

  • Verify all bolts are torqued to spec
  • Recheck torque after a few days of driving

You're done. Enjoy the improved seating position.
