Default seats dont slide back far enough

PO told me he put in different seats from another Cherokee and he or someone welded up different brackets for it and they don't slide back far enough now. im thinkin the slider is from an older Cherokee, because it looks like what my 91 had. the bottom brace to the floor is different from my 91 too. anybody have any ideas? thanx.

Get whatever year bracket you need for your jeep, and the seats all bolt on to the bracket the same. Even from zjs and wjs.

ok, I took the seat off the bracket and pulled the lever yanked on it, and it went farther back. I did it a bunch of times and lubed it up, but gonna lube it better. same thing with passenger side too. should be easier when sitting on them.
