Installation Instructions
Important Note
To help prevent cross-threading during installation, verify all bolts and threaded holes before starting. Thread each applicable bolt into its corresponding hole by hand. Do not force any bolt.
- Repeat these steps for both sides of the seat where applicable.
- The rounded edges of the Seat Jackers face forward.
-
Step One — Remove Factory Bolts
Remove any plastic trim at the feet of the seat or lift the caps covering the bolts.
Remove both front factory seat base bolts and loosen the two rear seat bolts, but do not remove them.
-
Step Two — Lift the Front of the Seat
Lift the front of the seat by pushing backward on the headrest or have a helper pull upward from the back seat.
-
Step Three — Install the First Seat Jacker Shim
Take the Seat Jacker shim with one countersunk hole and two threaded holes. Using the provided M10 1.25 x 30mm and Blue Loctite, attach the shim to the vehicle floor.
The rounded edges must face forward.
Torque both bolts to 30ft-lbs.
-
Step Four — Install the Second Seat Jacker Shim
Take the Seat Jacker shim engraved with “Seat Jacker” and use two of the four provided M8 flange bolts with Blue Loctite.
Hand-thread the bolts into the threaded holes of the first Seat Jacker shim. Get the bolts snug, then carefully lower the seat leg back down to align the holes.
Once everything is properly aligned, torque the M8 flange bolts to 20ft-lbs.
-
Step Five — Attach the Seat to the Seat Jacker
With the seat back in position, apply Blue Loctite to the provided M10 x 20mm Cap Head bolts and install them with the supplied washers.
Attach the seat leg to the Seat Jacker. Hand-thread each bolt first to prevent cross-threading, then torque the bolts to 30ft-lbs.
IMPORTANT — SEAT RAIL ALIGNMENT
If the seat rail holes do not line up, lift the seat approximately 1/4 inch and thread the bolt in a couple of turns. If needed, adjust the seat rails one at a time to get everything aligned. Confirm the rear seat bolts are loose enough to allow proper alignment.Note: Two extra 15mm Cap Head bolts are included in the kit. If the 20mm bolts bottom out before the seat leg is tight, use the 15mm Cap Head bolts instead.
-
Step Six — Reinstall Trim
Reinstall any plastic trim pieces that were removed in Step One.
Final Check
• Confirm all Seat Jacker bolts are properly torqued.
• Confirm the Seat Jackers are fully seated and properly aligned.
• Confirm the seat is securely attached and all hardware is tight.
• Confirm the rear factory seat bolts are properly torqued.
