Stumbled into these today.I've never had to many issues with the power seats in my regular cab,but for the taller guys who don't like the seat postion in their trucks,these might be something to consider.

Nope,not sure why you'd want to raise the front of the seat if you're short.I'm 5'8" and the front of the seats are good for me,but my buddy who's 6'3" hates the way the front of the seats in his truck don't support his legs.I also run with the drivers side head rest flipped backwards in my regular cab,as i hated the way the head rests sat and seemed to keep my head farther forward then i "personally" liked.You can kind of see the differance between the way the passenger side head rest sits,compared to the way the drivers side head rest sits

Im 6’4” and this would be great…I can make this myself though. But hey, I never thought to do this. I really like my seats.
I would make them to,instead of buying them,lol. But alot of guys don't have much in the way of welders/grinders/cutting torches etc. ,so they'd probably be better off buying them.
They'd also make vaccuming under the front seats easier,lol

Absolutely. I think I may find a couple pieces of metal and try to fab this. Great find though!

When someone comes up with a way to actually have tilt steering wheel, let me know
i would like to tilt my steering up about 2 inches

I drove 10 wheel dump trucks with PUPS & Tilt Trailers & i was always comfortable with a raised steering wheel that laid slightly flatter

Thats way too purdy for a dump truck! I’m pretty sure you will not find that unless its an airbag delete kit or something. Imagine taking an uppercut like that…

I used that image, because it had a good shot of the steering wheel.

If you noticed, that truck is old, it has 2 shift levers

with those, for instance, you shifted the main transmission in first gear & then you would shift the second lever through First, Second, Third & Fourth.
Then you shifted the main transmission into 2nd & again the 2nd shifter through the 4 gears, etc. etc.

That was unless the truck has a 4 geared primary & a 4 geared secondary & a 2 speed rear end.

The driver never stops shifting with those

Most of the trucks that i drove, had 13 speed transmissions, either Road Ranger or Fuller transmissions
