Hey, I am wondering if anyone has done it, or knows someone who has.. I am trying to raise the driver seat in my 2012 CC Express, maybe an 1-2" at the most. If there's a mod or seat lift kit out there..

I appreciate the help.

The rear of the seat is as easy as a longer bolts and some spacers, the front mounts being horizontal is the tricky part, most likely involve custom fabbed brackets.

This is a mod my grandmother used for years.

I'd like to raise the seat an inch just so my legs can be a little more relaxed.

It would be nicer for me if the seat could go back another inch or so.

Found this in eBay and purchased it. What a difference it makes in vision. I'm 5' 9" and this mod was one of my best.
Heavy pieces that give you either 1 or 2 inches of lift while also increasing the recline angle slightly allowing for the legs to feel more natural. Takes 20 minutes to install.

I wound up having a local machine shop make spacers for me that were 2"X2" round with a 1/2" diameter hole drilled through the center. If I had to do it again, I'd make the hole a little larger as the longer bolts that I thought were 1/2" must have been just a little larger.
