The Ford bot thing is irritating

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.  

Seriously?

Seriously?

Look, Ford-bot gonna Ford-bot... It can't help itself.

Another vote here for the Desert Does it seat jackers. I found the seats “comfortable enough” but I would get sore on long drives. I’m 6’4” with longish legs, and the seat jackers changed the game for me - lots more leg support and less fatigue.

I may have to check into the seat jackers. I have back issues(cloth seats OBX high) but feel like i'm constantly scooting back adjusting myself in the seat. and after awhile my back is mildly sore. I'm 5'7".

Desert Does It has an answer for the "flat" seat. I usually make my own and raise the front of the seat 1-1.5 inches but it was much easier to use this one rather than engineer my own. I highly recommend it!

placebo effect. NOTHING will make these seats more comfortable short (see what I did there?) of adding material to the front of the seat to support behind your legs above/at the knee.

I disagree strongly about the placebo comment. I've raised the front and/or lowered the rear on all my serious vehicles. I even had a long time driver of MX5s hop in mine and immediately ask me "what did you do to this seat. It's the best seat I've ever sat in." No placebo there because it was a blind test.

Had my 23 badlands with mgv seats for about 2 weeks now and I recently noticed that the drivers seat is considerably less soft and comfortable than the passenger seat. Anyone else notice this? I suspect it might be the lumbar and I was considering taking the lumbar out of the drivers seat because even at full deflation it still bulges into my lower back and even the seat cushion is pretty stiff under the thighs, unlike the passenger seat which is super plush all over. Not quite sure why it’s so different. Would that suggest any kind of seat defect as to why the fit and comfort is so different? Not quite sure what to do but it bothers me that the passenger is so good, I want that seat on the drivers side.

I installed the seat jackers and my right leg pain went away. The stock seats were just too flat and had no thigh support. This is an easy install and made all the difference. Highly recommended.

Think these’ll fit?

I am 6'1" and ordered some seat jackers. Are your seat jackers installed on the front or back? Are you using both on each front mount or just one each? With the jackers installed, how many cranks up from the bottom are you set for height? What is your seatback angle? Closer to upright or bigger incline/lounge-mode?

I am using the full height on the front (bought two sets, have the passenger lifted/jacked too). My seats are powered so can’t comment on cranks, but I still have them elevated. I set closer to upright.

Just ordered the Desert Does It seat jackers. My biggest issues is having to brace for turns, because I slide out of the seat. I sold my GR86 premium for my bronco, and the seat ergonomics from factory were far more comfortable (almost too comfy ). No issues with the GR seats keeping you in place; even when pulling high G turns.
