    I sold my set. There not for everyone. I felt a big difference after removing them in my thighs. That’s because I’m short. These would work out great for tall guys.

    If the seat jackers were about 1/2 inch thick instead of 1 inch I think I would have liked them better. One thing I liked about my ford was that the front of the seat was adjustable.

    Agreed. I'm 5'11" with a long torso and with my leg length I think I'm right on the borderline with the 1" blocks. As soon as I installed them I thought the same thing, they should make other block sizes. But still more comfortable than stock.

    Ordered a set for my drivers seat, figured I’d order a set then if they worked as advertised, I’d order a set for the wife’s side. Placed order Friday AM, shipped the same day. Received then @1300 eastern time today (Monday). Installed them and without driving the truck yet. I already feel more comfortable just sitting in the seat. I’ll be putting it too the real test as we’re hitting the road Thursday for a few days.
    Great experience with their ordering process and their shipping. Regardless If you buy them off of Desert Does It or make them yourselves, you have too install these and you’ll be pleased with it, just the feel of how it changes the pitch of the seat is a nice feel.

    Installed these last night on the drivers side. There is a noticeable deference for sure and I'm pretty sure I like it better. I'm anxious for this weekends road trip to see how I feel after a couple hours in the new position. My one complaint is that the blocks do not cover the void in the carpet. Not sure why they did not make them to completely cover the hole in the carpet.

    I wonder if you could just paint a Pringles tube top on the inside and punch a hole in it, then install it painted side down. The paint wouln't be exposed and the lip might create a good seal. Not sure though because I can't remember what the mounting surface is like. If elevated you might just need something more upside down bowl like to reach the floor and seal properly. Just a quick brainstorm, good luck finding a custom trim piece!

    Not a bad idea. I was thinking of buying some carpet and placing it underneath the existing then mounting everything on top of it. Its not terrible as it is, I'm just very OCD and it seems silly to me that for 90$ they couldn't have made it more "complete".

    What’s difference as opposed to just using the 4 way adjustable and lifting the front up? I get sciatic issues and L5 lumbar issues. Do these make a difference in that area? I’m 6’0

    These will give you more lift in the front and it makes it a lot more comfortable in my opinion.

    I made my own with thick fender washers and longer hardened flange bolts. I could only go up 3/4" because as you go higher, the mounting hole gets moved too far rearward and won't line up. I like it a lot and would probably like the full 1" lift but I did it for less than $10 and it's good enough. After that I went and did the same thing on my Rav4 and like that much better as well.
