Question Jacking up the rear seat - 2000 F150 Supercab

Has anyone ever jacked up the rear bench seats in a 2000 model F150 supercab? I could use some extra clearance for my box and was thinking of jacking the seat up 1-1/2" to 2" with shims or washers. It looks simple enough but I am concerned about the back rest interferring somehow. Can the backrest be moved to?

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike

buy a custom box for your truck, and they supply a 2 inch lift, just make sure the subs you own will fit the mounting depth


or

lmi welding

search the sites see whats up, I havent scoped out lmi welding to much so you may want to check if they have it specifically for your year etc


good luck, happy listening

I was going to take some 1'' by 2" rectangle metal tube and put it between the seat risers and seat, drill the holes in the riser and seat bigger and drill through the tubing and stick some long bolts through it all. Cheap and easy.

that works, there have been ideas of using wood as well. I dont really like this idea, I think its sort of dangerous just in case anything happens

Probox makes a perfect fit box that comes with all hardware for raising the rear bench seat for F150's. I have one in my 98 with two Fosgate 10" Punch P2's down firing. They sound awsome.
The box looks extremely good and is virtually un-noticeable. By raising the rear seat it makes the ride for someone sitting in the back more comfortable. Here is their website...

Check them out, it's worth it...
