A Way To Lift 2016/17 Tacoma Drivers Seat

[Augie]

I have looked every place for some kind of lift kit for all four points to raise the divers seat to no avail.
I am hoping someone out there has a solution and your help would be greatly appreciated. I would even change the seat but have not found a like seat in all the Toyota vehicle. Thanks for your help. Art

Others have done this, but I'm thinking they do it on their own, not aware of a kit for raising a seat.

How much lift do you need?

For reference: Tired of sitting in a hole ~ Toyota Tacoma Seat Spacers

Looking on ebay shows me lift kits for Chevy, Ford, Subaru and others. However, nothing for any Toyota. Wonder why that is?

I just found a salvage 2016 seat in and they will ship just the rail part that I will modify. The back is easy and will have my blacksmith make a steel dowel for my 2 inch lift. the front will have a bolted and welded extension to match the angle. Will let you know how is works but it it will awhile.

I'm sorry, we're all different and unique, i've got the other problem and fear that I'll break my knees in my next wreck actually.

Have you had other similar projects to this in the past? Certainly looks like it's something that's done (although not common) for other vehicles, I'm really interested in wondering why no one seems to have a seat-lift aftermarket piece for Toyota.

I am just good on problem soliving. I will make it safe and removeable . This is the last thing I want to do on a new truck!!

Yeah, i've known people who's had to alter seating for various reasons. I know a guy who's 7'1" and 400 lbs, so he's always got to bolt them back.

Seat arrived and my blacksmith is making the part. Had to pay $350 for 2016 salvage lower drivers seat so the part can be made. I will send pictures to everyone when it is done. I am looking for two inches. I recieved the kit from a guy in Califorina for the 2" spacer and rear bolts for $35.00. New truck has not arrived yet but this will work..
