Installation Instructions
Important Notes
- To help prevent cross-threading, verify all bolts and threads before installation by threading the applicable bolt into the corresponding hole by hand. Do not force any bolt that does not thread smoothly.
- Seat Jackers are sloped. The larger side must face forward.
- If installing Seat Jackers on both the front and rear of the seat, make sure the notch faces under the seat.
- Rear Seat Jacker installation follows the same steps as the front, in reverse.
- If installing the optional MMP, it attaches directly to the front of the Seat Jacker blocks using the threaded holes.
-
Step 1 — Remove Trim (If Applicable) and Front Bolts
- Remove any plastic trim around the feet of the seat.
- Remove both front factory seat base bolts.
- Loosen the two rear seat bolts, but do not remove them.
-
Step 2 — Lift the Seat
Lift the front of the seat by either:
- Pushing backward on the headrest, or
- Having a helper pull the seat backward from the rear seat area.
-
Step 3 — Choose Your Lift Height
1/2" Lift — One Seat Jacker Shim
- Select the Seat Jacker shim with the threaded hole and “Seat Jackers” engraving.
- Place one Seat Jacker under each front seat rail, between the rail and the carpet.
- Make sure the larger side faces forward.
- The threaded hole at the front of the Seat Jacker is for the optional MMP.
Continue to Step 4.
1" Lift — Two Seat Jacker Shims
- Stack the two Seat Jacker shims together. The shims are notched and designed to nest together.
- Place the stacked Seat Jackers between the front seat rail and the carpet.
- The shim with “Seat Jackers” engraved on it goes on top.
- Make sure the larger side faces forward.
Continue to Step 4.
-
Step 4 — Install the Front Bolts
Using the provided M10 1.5 x 60mm Cap Head Bolts and washers:
- Thread the bolt through the seat rail.
- Continue through the Seat Jacker(s) and into the vehicle floor.
- Start the bolt by hand to ensure it is properly aligned.
IMPORTANT — SEAT RAIL ALIGNMENT
If the seat rail holes do not line up:- Lift the seat approximately 1/4".
- Start the bolt by hand and thread it a couple of turns.
- If needed, adjust the seat rails one at a time until everything lines up.
- Make sure the rear seat bolts are loose enough to allow the seat to move into alignment.
Do not force the bolt or cross-thread the hardware.
-
Step 5 — Torque the Seat Bolts
Once all hardware is properly installed and aligned:
- Torque the two front bolts to 30 ft-lbs.
- Torque the two rear bolts to 30 ft-lbs.
-
Step 6 — Reinstall Trim (If Applicable)
Reinstall any plastic trim pieces removed in Step 1.
Final Check
Before operating the vehicle, verify that:
• All four seat mounting bolts are properly torqued.
• The Seat Jackers are properly seated.
• The larger side of the Seat Jackers faces forward.
• The seat is securely mounted.
- Check bolt torque at regular intervals and don’t forget to post a review. - Desertdoesit.com
