Mastercraft is making brackets now for XJ's so thier seats can be used. I've read a lot of articles saying how good they are:

You'd have to contact Mastercraft and ask about approx height on them though.

I would make your own. When I bought my Corbeu ( how do you spell that?) I got their brackets. They raised the seat 1-2'' and were not all that good. If you don't want a sliding seat you can rip out the factory slider and bolt the seats to the floor, or on a smaller bracket. Did that make sence?

can you just attatch the new seat to the factory braket?

I don't think so. Most aftermarket seats need a bracket to atatch the seat to the rails. That they provide for a stupid amount of money

Get a 2 door. I'm 6'6 and I don't even have my seats all the way back in my 1985.

Good 1 :roflmao: That scene/movie is a classic. He just ripped those seats out and sat in the back. He still looked crowded even in the back.

Mastercrafts are great. The brackets that they have mount to the sliders on your stock seats. The height is no problem. I am 6'2" and actually sit lower in the Mastercrafts than the stockers. I went with the Rubicons with adjustable lumbar support.

I believe there is somebody out there that makes brackets that move the seats back, can't remember who exactly, but ebay, I think they were like $40 for a set, did one side. Probably if you have some enigneering or machining back ground, you could make your own, thats what I am going to do, eventually, when I get some free time.
