front seat bolt
2019 f150 40/20/40 seat
i'm a little guy, 5'7”, and i need a booster seat to see out the windshield.
i got some 1-1/2” lifters to raise the driver's seat but the bolts they sent are definitely the wrong size.
i pulled an original bolt but can't figure the size. it has a 13mm head and 47mm reach. on the head is what looks like an elongated s with 010 under it.
the first 5 or 6 mm seem to be somewhat tapered.
not fine thread but doesn't quite look coarse either.
any idea what bolt size i should look for?

If nobody answers the question, you can tale your factory bolt to an automotive supply store or hardware store.
they should have thread measuring templates. I know the hardware stores normally have them hanging in the bolt aisle.
If you end up buying bolts, be sure to get the correct grade...not cheapo home repair ones. You don't want them to shear in the event of an accident.

I bet it's a metric bolt. It might even be TTY since it's used for safety equipment.

The seat should be able to raise up high enough for you to se out the window easily. My 5'3 daughter and 5'4 wife wife can drive mine with no issues, they just have to raise the seat. You should not need any spacers.

Torque to Yield. It's just a guess. Since you're getting new hardware anyways you don't have to worry about that.
Don't bother going to Lowes or Home Depot for hardware like that. In my area, Ace Hardware is the place to get individual nuts and bolts. Lowes and Home Depot only have the multi packs.

Tractor Supply sells individual nuts and bolts too.
The reason he can't raise the seat is that it is probably a manual seat. XLs, STXs and base XLTs all have manual seats that only adjust front to rear and the seat back angle.

When I bought my 2020 F150 I sat in a 2021 F150 XL with the 3.5l Superboost engine. I liked the color (flat gray) and the generator option (don't know what I thought about the hybrid operation) but the seat didn't have enough adjustment for my wife. With adjustable pedals and seats, momma has driven my F150 once or twice in town when she let me have drinks at dinner.
