Re: Seat Lowering

Was just about to order a set when I noticed that the only way to adjust the seat appears to be with slots in the floor mounting bolts. Unfortunately my wife also drives the truck, so that would not work. Am I missing something, or is there another way to do this?

I'm only 5'10" and feel my line of sight through the windshield is too high, but at the same time I feel like I'm raising my knees to my chin to work the clutch and brakes.

To those that's done this, did it make the pedals any more difficult to operate?

Well I am 6ft 2" and the steering wheel rubbed my legs so bad I had to drive like I was having a baby. haha

Lowering the seat changed everything and I love it.
