hey all.. i was wondering, and just so u understand better...

when you getin an f250/350.. you notice your seat is way up higher then the 150's..and i dunno, u just are..

my question is.. since i have a power nuthing truck, (no power seats).. is there any way to lift my seat up higher with out sitting on phone books and pillows..

ps.. im not short.. (6').. but i like seeing the the bed in the 250's when u look behind you, and i also like being up higher hten i allready am..

thanks for the help.

 

That's a great question. I'm 6'2" but would like to sit up just a bit higher for offroad purposes. I haven't looked at the seat mounts but I bet some trimmed to fit 3/4" stock with holes drilled would make nice shims/spacers. I'll look into that...

 

thanks,deffintately post up any info.. i kno i looked last night online, and couldnt find anything. just like a 2 inch spacer type hting for the brackets would be all you need.. i have seen one site with a thing for the rear bench seat on the older body style, for subs.. but.. how about the front.. thanks for the post.. let me know!

 

Hockey pucks. They are hard rubber, 1 1/4" thick, $1 each, cut and drill easy as butter. They won't rattle, won't rust, and won't compress under a light load like a seat/person. You can cut even them into square blocks so people don't ask why you have hockey pucks under your seat.

Added bonus - extra storage space under the seat.

hey im very intrested in this idea.. were did u come up wiht it, how exactly would it be done, etc.. and does it make the seat structure unsafe at all?

 

Thinking of doing the "hockey puck" idea myself, would just have to find some longer bolts I would imagine.

 

My father came up with the idea about 15 years ago. I was in High School, and just got my first car, a 1982 Camaro. He didn't like how low I sat in it at the time and said the only way I was driving it was if we raised the seats. I hated the "dorky" idea, but afterward realized that nobody would ever know, and I could see a helluva lot better. Only longer bolts were needed in that car.

In the F150, I don't know if other items are bolted down by the seat bolts, like the belts, sensors, etc. There is clearly a little research to do before doing it.
