Seat Jackers Installation Instructions


Before You Start

  • Tools needed: 12mm or 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 plastic trim pieces (if applicable).
  • Remove both front factory seat bolts (12mm or 14mm socket).
  • Loosen the rear seat bolts (do not remove).

NOTE:
The factory M10 fine-thread bolts will be reused in Step 3.


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 to Floor

  • Position the Seat Jackers under the front seat mounts.
  • Apply Blue Loctite to the factory M10 fine-thread bolts.
  • Use the factory bolts to fasten the Seat Jackers to the floor.
  • Torque bolts to 39.1 ft-lbs.

IMPORTANT:
Factory bolts are used to secure the Seat Jackers to the floor.


Step 4 – Attach Seat to Seat Jackers

  • Apply Blue Loctite to the provided M10-1.25 x 20mm flange bolts (bright finish).
  • Thread bolts through the seat rails into the Seat Jackers.
  • Start all bolts by hand and leave finger-tight for alignment.

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 seat rails independently until aligned

Step 5 – Final Torque Sequence

  • Torque all bolts to 39.1 ft-lbs in the following order:
    1. Front Right
    2. Front Left
    3. Rear Right
    4. Rear Left

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.
