Default Lift seat

Hey so first of all happy holidays to everyone! Soo i read somewhere that if you have the right tools and parts you can lift the seats in your xj. Is this true?

you can put spacers under the back 2 bolts to tilt and raise it forward cause the bolts go straight down into the floor...for the front bolts you would have to make some kind of bracket to raise them up because they bolt into a floor support parallel with the floor but it could be done.....zombie jeep101 you usually do this to see over the dash, steering wheel or hood, I've done this to 2 wranglers for 2 women because they were too short

Luckily for me and my power seat it can already go up and down

I ride at the lowest height anyways, however sometimes makes me feel like the Jeep is lifted higher lol.

Depends on the year. The mounts are all flat on the floor prior to 96.
