    I don't have any personal experience but use the search function and type in "seat jackers" you should come up with lots of results from people in here that have them. I am sure someone has them on a 22+ already.

    I put @DesertDoesIt Seatjackers in awhile ago. You can read the post on my build thread for more details: Duster’s Double Cab Build - The Daily Do-It-All Post #74

    BTW…they’re not for short people only. I’m 6’ 1” and I still installed them. I found the 3rd Gen seats to be a lower driving position than other Toyotas that I’ve owned. I recommend them.

    Seat jackers are a must in the gen 3. The seats are way too low to the ground and don’t pitch enough

    Put them in my Gen3 Taco and took them out and put them in my Gen3 Tundra first thing. Vastly improved posture and vision. BTW the Gen3 Taco item fits the Gen3 Tundra. GL

    Unbolt all 4, tilt the seat, insert risers and use new bolts to resecure

    just unbolt or loosen 2 at a time front then back and 27 ft lbs torque on front whole lot easier and that is what desert dose it recommends to get the right pitch. they have a you tube vid on it

    Anyone know if you can split the difference between front and back with just one set of seat jackers? I'm wanting to do the long bottom mount in the front and the two shorter ones under the rear of the seat. I'd prefer not to have to buy another whole set of I can help it.

    It's possible, I suppose. Why don't you buy the front set and try it out? If it works, you're in luck. If not, then you just buy the rear set down the road. You've really got nothing to lose.

    I did 3/4" lift in the front with 2 spacers and a .25" in the rear with 1 spacer. Though, after driving like that since May, I think I'm going to put in the 3rd spacer in front and another one in the rear.

    I bought the front set a while ago but haven't had the chance to install yet since I'm traveling for work at the moment. I'll just give it a shot when I get home and see how it works.
