SuperCab rear seat risers?
Supercab F-series from this era (like my '91) had a folding rear seat that was too close to the floor to be comfortable. There used to be a common aftermarket product (pair of brackets) that raised the seat up and still allowed it to fold. I can't find these for sale any more. Does anyone here know where I can get a set of these brackets?

I remember our 85 extended cab seat was on the floor. A friend of mine has a 96 or 97 F250 extended cab and the back seat in it is almost normal height. His came that way. I don't know what year they started correcting that problem. If you ask me they never should have made it that low to begin with.

Thanks for the tip on JC Whitney. That sounds like the kind of thing they would carry. However, I checked their website and couldn't find these parts. Maybe I didn't look in the right place or maybe they are only in the print catalog (which I don't have).
So I started googleing every combination of words I could think of and found a reference to Hi-Rider Seat Kits from LMI Welding. They still make the rear seat brackets for my truck plus they have models for Fords from 1973 to 2003.

mine is this way too....
Even my 5 year old daughter hates sitting on this seat....
I placed my amp under the rear seat and noticed it would not latch...The amp was just a little too tall....
Anyway I found if you remove the latch and place spacers under it it raises the seat up.....

Onetonfan,
I had a set on my 94 Flareside. Which was total by a red light runner this last December.
My buddy bought the truck as salvage and is parting it out.
I'll give him call tomorrow and see if he still has the spacers. If so, I'll pm you and get your address....
If I can get them, you pay the shipping and there yours...

I had one of their kits in an 85 supercab. Super easy to install and did just what you guys seem to be looking for.
