Raise back seat of F-150?

[MisterGrubbs 5,000+ posts]

I've heard folks talking about it before but cant find brackets or anything

Once upon a time, anyways, I was told that you could get 2-3" of lift on the back seat of the next generation F-150's. Just picked one up and looking to raise the back seat and now I cant find shit

Anyone any clue?

Also heard you just switch the brackets around butttt not sure about that, it's a 60/40 seat not a bench so I'd imagine it wont work

On my friend 05 or 06 f150 he thought the same thing but couldnt find a supplier for the brackets, people on the boards had pics of mounts and such.

We simply took the whole seat out of the car, ground off the 2 or 3 spot welds holding the oem bracket together and extended 4 of the mount atleast 3"

Only thing we never thought about is that the seat wouldnt fold down anymore cause the bottom was up so high, tons of headroom still though probly could have gone higher

just modify the oem if that an option and you have a welder or access to one

I was very very excited about this until I realized that it was for the older body styles and supercabs at that.

I have the full 4 door supercrew and from what I read there they wont fit it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

it is nothing more then some longer bolts and nylon or steel spacers. 100% a do it yourself type job.

I went to home depot and bought some nylon spacer and long bolts and called it a day. about 15 bucks in parts and it worked great. now i have cut out the back seats all together but at first this was what i did.

just remove the seats and you will see what needs to be done.

when fully gutted in the back you have enough room for about 20 cubes without much effort.

i'm not sure if i have a pic of before i took out the seats. that was a few years ago and i have changed laptops a few times since loosing pics in the process. here is a link to a video i made not to long ago that shows how it sits now..
