Slightly scary but very worth it if you’re tall like me.
I’m 6’5” so I ran into the issue with the roll bar. This is a pretty involved mod but being a welder as a profession I wasn’t too worried. You do have to cut the rear seat legs off but I’ll tell you… it’s definitely worth it once you sit in your new slammed seat. Makes all the difference in the world and makes the jeep feel like a whole different vehicle. Took about two hours or so, so not too bad there. All in all I’m very happy with it.

6’7” and I fit now!
Easy install. Wish I had done this on previous JKUs.
I removed the B pillar trim to drop the seat all the way down.

Really great product ! I actually fit in my 2018 jku rubicon now . I don’t even have the seat all the way down and back (that’s a first for any vehicle I have owned) very happy with my purchase despite the $100 Canadian import fee . Oh and install wasn’t that difficult, angle grinder was key 👌🏻 a hacksaw with a good metal blade would also probably do the trick.

Jku seat slammers
I have the seat slammers for my Gladiator and have been waiting for these for my wife’s JKU. They are great, easy install and much better seating position. I would just recommend making the provided longer bolt the same head size as the rest of the factory seat bolts.

I tried almost everything else without success, so naturally I had my doubts. My husband even said, "they only boost an inch, how much could that possibly help?" But it really has been a night and day difference like other reviewers have said. I went for an all-day road trip the day after the front jackers were installed, and for the first time in ten years, I did not suffer from debilitating back pain during the trip and for days afterwards. I also noticed that my body is more stable in my stock seat during turns and bumps that were previously felt more sharply right up my spine. I have lots of problems in my SI joints and L4-S1 discs. It feels like the jackers took the pressure off these areas. Since installing them, I haven't experienced the overwhelming radiculopathy while driving that I always used to get after 30+ minutes behind the wheel. I am so grateful for the massive reduction in pain. The quality of life improvement has been priceless for me. I am also happy to see that Desert Does It makes the jackers for lots of makes and models, so I will be covered and be able to get more when I eventually need a new car. Thank you so, so much for this wonderful product! You've been able to solve a pain issue for me that doctors and PTs could not.
Got one for the passenger seat liked it so much immediately got one for the driver's. Just finished 4 wheeling in the maze district of canyonlands multiple days 8 hours a day. These things made it super comfortable, thanks for the awesome product, super robust!
