I raised my driver's seat a couple months back. It's a little higher than I need but comfortable and I like the new view outside. I'll post the link as soon as I find it.

Anybody used something like the link below? I wish I had height adjustment on my truck but opted for just basic seats. I wish my seat was just a bit higher for my legs to feel more comfortable.

You can add an OEM power seat pretty easily for around $200-$300. Pretty easy to find at a salvage yard and if the covers aren't in good shape or matching, just swap them for your non-power seat matched cover.

I'm going to re-drill the front bracket when I get back from my road trip. That'll help my wife a bit too"

Thank you all. I might consider the electric seats, but my wallet is asking me to slow down a bit. Thought spacers might be a good stopgap, just wondered about installation and safety of the spacers

I know it is not a Dodge, but I have added seat spacer blocks to two of the wife's Jeep Wranglers without any issues. It was fairly easy project to remove the seat bolts, and add the spacers along with the new bolts.

I installed the spacers from Ohio Diesel, it worked out well. I'm 5'8", the extra 2" lift sure helps in my 2014 2500. Ohio Diesel had them on sale for $55.00 per set. Bought two sets, lifted the passenger seat also, wife loves the extra lift. Who knew 2" would make such a difference.

I would really like higher seats in my 2016 Bighorn w/ full power seats

I would have installed spacers but the tilt steering wheel would have to raise the same amount as the seat.
My thighs have always been big, but now they are Covid fat thighs
