Allright, I have an 86 SuperCab. I was wondering if anyone had lifted the rear seat about 6" or so, so as to allow people taller than 4' nothing to sit comfortably in the back seat.

It doesn't look like it would be too complicated, but I'd just like to see some setups if anyone has done it.

I have been told in the past there used to be kits to do it. I know that the Chevys I had been in were much more comfortable for my 6'1" body... the rear seat in them was higher.

 

my 91 pickup has this said lift in it. it came with the truck but i'll look and see if i can see anything stamped or tagged on it anywhere, as to who makes it. it looks very professional, i never knew it had it till i sat in someone elses ext cab.

 

I have removed 2 of those kits before. One was a store bought kit and the other was homemade using 1" square tubing. The homemade kit only lifted the seat where as the aftermarket kit had seatbelt extenders and some extra bracing.

 

I had an aftermarket kit installed shortly after buying the truck in 83. It's fantastic...your legs are closer to a 90 degree angle. I have no way to post pics, I can measure if you'd like. It would probably be hard to find the kit, either in the yard or ebay. Did Ford raise the height in the late 80s?

 

Ford did offer an optional kit to raise the rear seat on Super Cabs, Ford called it the "High-Setter."

The same year they offered the kit, they offered two underseat storage boxes...one was a tool box, one was a...I kid you not...a gun safe. Both were made from heavy gauge steel and were lockable.

I'll see if I can find the kit part number.

EDIT: E6TZ1860518A. The Ford parts catalog now calls it a "Riser" Kit.

Fits: 1980/89 F Series Super Cabs.

There's another Riser Kit shown for 1990/93 (F2TZ1860518B), but Ford sez it won't fit 1994's and later.

If someone is interested in either of these kits, lemme know, I'll see if any dealer or obsolete parts vendor might have one.

 

Bill, any idea how high the 90/93 kit raises the seat?

I went the the salvage yard and pulled the brackets off a 94 and installed them on my 93. It only raises the seat 4" off the floor. I'd like to see 6"

 

Sorry, I don't remember, and the parts catalog doesn't say either.

These kits are obsolete, but...

E6TZ1860518A = Fitzptrick & Lambert in Dushore PA has two / Obsolete Ford parts dealer greensalescompany.com has one: 800-543-4959

F2TZ1860518B = Wilson Ford in Snyder TX has one / Jones Ford-Lincoln-Mercury in Wickenburg AZ has one / greensalescompany.com has four.

You might call the nice folks at Green Sales and ask them how high these kits raise the seat. All the help are ex-Ford partsguys.

 

Yeah, if you have anyway to find out who made the lift that would be great. wouldn't mind just picking something up.

I'm gonna call on those factory sets, see if they're a preice i'm willing to pay.

Thanks guys.
