Rear Seat Risers

Rear Seat Risers
I need about 2 more inches under my rear seat in my 1999 X-Cab. I know LMI Welding makes some for my truck, but they want $125 for them. Anyone know where I can get some cheaper? Could I just get like 2"-thick aluminum plates or something and use longer bolts? Any other suggestions?

if your planning on putting subs underneath your rear seat, there is no need for risers. i have an 01 supercab with 2 Kicker 10" under the rear seat. i didnt have to anything to the seat, and the seats still fold down and latch. However, i dont know if the 99's had a shallower floor in the rear, but i dont think they do, correct me if im wrong. the only thing you might have to do is buy some risers for the box, because it might be too shallow for the subs to fit.

SOOO... in summary of a long-winded answer, I think I need seat risers. So anyone know of a cheaper riser than the LMI Welding ones??

Either way, I have 7.5" (at the deepest point), and I need 1.5" bewteen the sub face and the floor (downfiring subs), then .5" between the magnet and the box, then about 3/8" (I think) for the thickness of the MDF in the back (the MDF in the front of the box is negligable because it is included in the speaker mounting depth, since the face/lip of the speaker sits on the front of the box, if that makes sense). All that random space adds up to 2 3/8" (2.375") of my available 7.5", leaving a total of 5 1/8" (5.125") for my total speaker mounting depth. Which... I'm still looking around for the exact subs I want, but 5.125" is looking pretty shallow for a decent-sized sub.

dude....make some out of wood. that's what i have in my truck. not sure if yours is much different than my 03 screw up it works for me.
by the way the bolts hold the seat in not the spacers. you could use anything underthere and as long as the bolts are just as strong as the factory bolts you won't be putting anyone in danger.
