back seat mod

Has anyone tried to mod the back seat to slide forward and recline a bit. On long trips with the kids in the back a couple of degrees would make for a more comfortable ride, and keep us (me) out of the mini van.

I am guessing you have a Crew Cab. The factory seat bolts in to place and stays pretty well as is.

They do sell replacement seats though that will lay completely flat. They make both power & manual. i'll try and find the link for you.

There are some companies that make a rear sofa style seat for crew cabs. Maybe someone with one can chime in with a link. Can't seem to find one at the moment.

Here you go:

Cre Cab converting rear seat

At $800 to start, plus shipping... hmmm... I'm glad the dogs don't care. I remember seeing that you could add either one or both options: massage feature & heat. I don't see that from this place, but maybe there is another supplier. I'm sure they'd be glad to do more custom work to add those if you wanted them...

I am now looking for a crew cab. My wife shows Great Danes and that would be awesome. We have looked for a truck with a seat that folds down like that. Thanks for the link

I had a Qualitex seat in the back of mine, powered forward/reverse, manually reclines and lays flat. It was in my truck when I bought it. PM me if interested.

I'm rockin' the captain's chairs and center console in the back now. I stole the idea from Jet.
