FAQs
Seat risers or Seat Jackers are accessories that lift and add height to vehicle seats to provide greater comfort and support. They slide under the legs of a seat to raise it higher off the floor.
Benefits include enhanced posture, reduced lower back pain, improved leg circulation, easier entry/exit of the vehicle, and better line of sight while driving.
Most seat risers add .3 to 1.25 inches of extra height.
Seat Jackers are available for most mainstream truck and car makes and models. Desert Does It offers seat risers specifically designed to fit popular vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma, Jeep Wrangler, Ford F-150, Subaru and more.
Seat Jackers bolt in between the factory seat mounts and the vehicle floor. No drilling or modifications required. Simple hand tools and easy instructions included. Most installations take 10 minutes or less.
When properly installed, our Seat Jackers are completely safe. Seat Jackers have been engineered to meet or exceed the factory bolted connection and include factory grade hardware. Our Seat Jackers have been tested by an indepentant third party lab and have passed applicable test as requried by DOT/NHSTA FMVSS 207 Standards.
Some of our Seat Jackers allow the mounting of a Multi-Mount Panel (MMP) to the front of the block, if this is the case, there will be threaded holes to accommodate the molle panel. Not all Seat Jackers have this option.
Installation was straightforward, nothing complicated to mess up. If you don’t have a torque wrench, don’t worry about it, the bolts were tight enough without it. It is much more comfortable having the seat come up to meet my legs especially since my Tacoma is a manual. Looking forward to less knee pain from working the clutch!
Would have been a five star but the threaded hole on the shorter piece without the tab on my set was very tight and difficult to tighten all the way down because of being under the steering wheel (hard to get a good angle to get the force required). Still got it though and no need to torque it since it was so tight it was way past 27 foot pounds.
Great product, I would recommend it to anyone who is tall (6’+) and doesn’t like how flat the “bucket” seats are in a Tacoma.
Was somewhat skeptical that these would make much of a difference in my 1st Gen. I've been doing some interior and exterior mods to try and spruce it up a bit. This has made the ride/ seats more comfortable. It is definitely worth it. Thanks for making a well thought out and effective product.
like them. Makes my 5’6” sit up so I can tackle notice closer to the front of my 1998 Taco.
Had a few install bumps, but not the instructions or jackers fault. Old seat brackets spread from age.
I’m a retired tool maker/machine tool tech instructer, the workmanship was excellent
Yaaaayyy.....
Awesome product. Made a big difference. Although, I think price is a little high for a single seat. They should really come in pairs for both front seats for the price. Maybe I’ll do passenger seat later.
I was really surprised by how much difference something so small and easy to install could make such a huge difference! So much more comfortable now! I would recommend the seat jackets to everyone!
I loved them. Helped with my back a lot. Thank you
Tacoma seat jackers front and rear allowed clearance for a powered subwoofer under the passenger seat. The product is well made and bolts right up as advertised. The quality is great.
Finally, my seat feels 100% better with them installed. No more achy legs. Worth the investment!
I was reluctant to try the lift blocks but I'm glad I did. I can drive further now before my back starts griping. They were a bit of a fiddle to get them installed without cross-threading the mounting bolts. I'm not sure why they were reluctant, but I eventually managed. I think they are a nice improvement.
Lifted the seat in the front where I was sliding forward while driving. Great fit and you have to get use to the higher angle but so far so good.
I have a 1996 Tacoma and could not find equivalent seat risers for my year truck elsewhere, so took a chance on these. I live in Mexico and paid extra in shipping to have them forwarded to me here. This also eliminates the possibility of returning them without an additional $20 shipping charge. The unit for the drivers side door side was not drilled properly and I could not get a bolt to align with the mounting hole. It was drilled too high on the flange side. I had to ream out the hole with a drill to get it to fit, I would expect more precise machining for $90. After getting them installed I took a 2 hour drive and only noticed a slight improvement in comfort. These only lift 3/4", which does not bring the front seat edge up to touch the bottom of my legs. I am 5'10" tall. Other products found on **** for less than half the price (but not for the 96 Taco) lift 1.5", which I imagine would be much better to relieve lower back pain and increase comfort. I had a feeling that this would be the case and delayed ordering them from DesertDoesIt because of the risks, but heard others say how they felt they improve their comfort and are worth the cost. My mistake.
The height achieved is nice. The directions are a bit confusing and you must pay attention to the bolt threads and where the bolts go. For me the mistake was not lining up the bolt that goes into the aluminum block. Pre **** the bolts to see where they go, I found the fit is snug. With that if you believe the bolt is snug when tightening but it’s actually not lined up correctly the threads in the aluminum block will easily strip. This happened to me. I managed to fix with a different bolt.
Purchased my seat jackers for my 2004 toyota tacoma wow what a difference. easy install
The jungle website is NOT the place to buy these ... buy direct for proper fitment. A great product! Wife said ... "I'm no longer falling into the pedals". Feels like a new truck to me ... and it's my daily.
Get you some! You pay for the 'engineering' ... and it's worth it! Sure, you can "rig something up" ... but I like the peace of mind that comes with a quality product like this ... especially while gassin', breakin' and shiftin'! ... and overall, enjoyin' my drive!
I own a 2000 2wd extra cab Tacoma , I am 6’4 so leg room is a must . I ordered the seat jackers , installed them and they have worked perfectly. Definitely worth the purchase.
Works as intended - too bad I didn't find them in 2003. Anyone looking at this product knows the problem. For me (5'10" with lumbar Intervertebral disc disease), the seating position is now more comfortable. Previously, I would recline the seat back to open the angle between my femur and spine to tolerate the low/flat seat base. When only using the front lift, the required seat back recline was too much. Also lifting the rear, restored a greater range of adjustment and comfort.
Work as intended, I bought a pair for my 2001 taco I'm 6ft 260lbs they are great little addition for better stock seat comfort for me I got better leg support (thigh) also improved lower back (lumbar area) support ,it took a bit of wiggle/ line up but bolted up just fine
you'll see afterwards that the seat frame pins don't go into the body pin holes (short)I recommend these glad I bought my Seat Jackers 👍🏼
The seat jackers are great. Much more comfortable and more support for my legs
Just did a weekend trip to Cape May, 4hr+ each way, the jackers made a noticeable improvement in my ability to be comfortable driving in the seat, less sciatica acting up and none of the pain I'd get in my right thigh from lack of support when pressing on the gas pedal. I'm 6'1", 33" inseam for reference. Wish they were a tad cheaper tho, like closer to $50, thus 4stars not 5.
I am tall so this really helps tilt me back into the seat a little better.
It allows me to have my legs bent a little better than before.
Install was fine. A little finicky, just with my carpet in my truck, but they fit very well and seem to be made very well.
Very happy I got these installed today. Happy about the body position for me, def helps in a tiny taco when you are not a tiny human.
Thanks!
Work of art.
Everybody needs a set.
I'm sure its not DesertDoesIt's fault, but this is a VERY subtle fix to the otherwise poorly constructed Toyota bucket seats. If you want to talk to the manufaturer, I would suggest the kit includes various heights/ thickness. Given the option I would have gone to 1 or 1.5 inches of a raise rather than just a front tip of a 1/2 inch. 80 bucks? I could have done this with a handfull of washers.
I installed these on my 2003 Tacoma, and I can't believe the difference they make. Installation was very simple and fast. The quality if fantastic. I would consider these a must have for Tacoma owners.
Ordered these seat jackers for my 2001 tacoma single cab with the full front bench. They worked out great and I definitely noticed the difference. It’s much more comfortable with the back rest reclined a bit. Thanks
Great customer service and quick shipment.....5stars
Perfecto. I’m 6’1” and now the backs of my thighs actually rest on the seat.
So nice. If you have the means, I highly suggest you pick some up.
Perfect fit
The seat jackers have literally brightened the driving experience in my truck. Initial stock set up is uncomfortably straight up. After install the seat angle was relaxed and more supportive on thighs. Imho a little expensive but still very happy with the purchase and recommend it to others.
