Default ZJ seats are too cramped in my XJ!!

I recently bought a '99 XJ that has some leather seats front and rear from I believe a '97 ZJ. The seats sit too damn high and forward. I need something lower, preferably lower than stock XJ seat or same height and something that will allow to sit farther back. Any suggestions on what I can pick up @ the JY for a direct replacement? Need some opinions on what some people have put in their XJ's and still either retain the stock headroom or gain some.

TIA guys,

Sean
PS. On that note anybody want to buy some heated ZJ Agate seats, front and rear?

Non-powered seats sit a little lower and further back than the powered variety. Those damn motors take up a lot of space under the seat track...

Hey house,

Agate is black. The seats are in great shape. No rips or tears, I'm just too big a guy for these LOL. I'd totally be down for a trade.

where are you located, i really dont think shipping 2 sets of seats is a good idea.

Im in southern maine near portland, work up in auburn maine, and frequent worcester ma for thirst quenching, if we can make something work that would be pretty sweet

I'd be up for trading too depending on your location of course. I have a perfect set of xj seats also. I'd give them a good shampoo from sitting in my loft for a bit but no rips, tears or burn holes in them. Grey in color also. Let us know a location and if not too far then sure ya him or I would be interested.
