Rear Seat Raisers

[NegativeEffect1 10+ year member]

Does anyone make rear seat raisers for a '01 gmc extended cab?? if not, could it be made out of wood (most likely oak hard wood if i make it) I'm thinking of making them myself if i cant find any and just wondering if a 3" hard wood block would be strong enough to support the weight of the seat and 2 people.

Hey go to your local pipe and steel supply. Get some 1/8 or 1/4 in tubular steel cut to your specific mounting locations and drill the holes, get longer bolts and your done.

I'm sure a 3" block of oak (the softest hardwood) would be fine. I could build you some metal ones if your worried about the wood. E-mail or pm me if your interested

the tubular steel I got was 1/8 in thick and it is like 2x4 inches but there is like 1x3 2x3 a lot of differant sizes and with that you can turn them to be like 4 in high or 2 inches high, If you need a pic let me know.

wood would work but the steel would be better, I think I paid 5 bucks for all the steel I used

If there is a metal recycling place near you just go look through some of the junk. I know around here if you want to take only a small piece they won't even bother to charge you. And if they do it's only a few cents a pound

something like that would work great, im think maybe i should go 3-1/2" just for that extra bit of clearence

If you want something like those pics just let me know the height you want to go, How long you want actual riser and the bolt centers. I could do it and have them shipped tomorrow.
