With the ranger torque splitter? I haven't measured but it looks like the 435 could easily come back another 7 1/2" and not have the cane be under the seat.

But then again, looks are deceiving.

Yeah about that but mine is 4wd that would move my 4x4 shifter back into seat.
By going with the nv4500 just made it all simpler in my vehicle.

My ex wife had a 69 mustang and those buckets seats were not very comfy after a few hrs of driving. Plus did not want limit passengers to just one when need room for two. I did think of the fold down bronco center cup caddy/armrest or after market seats, hell I'd already put like $450 into having my bench seat recovered just done and did not want just trash it.

You know finding a buyer takes time for these old truck parts is very slow.
I have no place for storage and waiting on a buyer for a large item like a seat may never happen..

Not counting the trucks down time looking for a pair of buckets and floor mounting brackets which would be like $800 +-

So you see it was way easier to go with the nv4500.
