JEEP SEAT SLAMMERS® (WRANGLER & GLADIATOR)

First off, I have no financial ties to DDI, besides giving them my money for this great mod. Seriously, listen to all the reviews who tell you to just do it if you're on the fence. I was one of those people and I'm glad I went out of my comfort zone to get comfortable.

As a guy of 6'2" and mostly torso (32" inseam), I've never fit that great in my JK Wrangler without some seat modifications. Although I fit fine enough in my Gladiator as is, the seating position was always a bit high for me, even on the lowest seat setting. They make front seat jackers to help the flat seating position, which are nice in terms of comfort, but don't necessarily alter the seating position. I tried them and returned them. After doing a lot of research, watching videos, reading forum posts, and reviews, I did it. I'd been agonizing over biting the bullet, but I finally ponied up the money and bought the Seat Slammers from Desert Does It.

The modification steps are all fairly simple, but to do it well requires you to slow down and take the time. It's a bit of a slog, because you have to remove the door, discharge the batteries, and remove the seat even before starting. Essentially, you cut your rear legs off before the seat rails, and drill two bolt holes on each side using a jig. After that, you spend a lot...a lot of time cleaning up, then painting over your cuts and marks. I should have taken my own advice and done a better job masking off to make clean up a little bit easier.

I installed mine with the biggest drop my kit offered of 1.5". At first, the difference felt very dramatic, but it didn't take long for it to feel normal for the first time since I owned my Gladiator. Even if I pump the seat up a little bit, it feels strange to sit even at that height. The position of the brake and gas pedal aren't bothersome anymore and feel much more natural. The door card and center console are actual proper resting points for my arms and I can see the traffic lights again without ducking my head. Like others have said, I finally feel like I'm sitting in the Jeep, not on it. Lots of work, but well worth it.

Also, props to Deric for answering all of my questions promptly and patiently.

I’m 6’4” and have a 34-inch inseam. I chose option 1. Before installing it, I couldn’t get my seat in the right position because my head would hit the sound bar. But after installing it, I can recline to my favorite driving position and have almost an inch of clearance between my head and the sound bar. I’m going to buy a second set for the passenger side for my tall friends.

At 6'7" I dread long cross country flights in a middle seat. I also dread walk in theaters and tight seating in vehicles. Alas, I discovered "Seat Slammers!" I purchased the rear seat lowering kit, and have never been happier with my 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL. It's more comfortable (and safer), especially for a long trip. Now my head does not hit the sound bar and my knee isn't wedged to the center console. Would I buy them again? Easy answer.............100% YES.

Went with the 2 inch drop and love it. I wish I would have done this sooner. Better visibility out of the front windshield. I’m 6’4” so it helped a lot.

I had to self tap every single hole to get the screws go through them. You guys could’ve did that better. if I didn’t have my own self tapping kit to fix your guys mistake I wouldn’t have been able to use the kit you guys need a do better quality check. actually run bolt through it instead of just sending it out the door.
