TALL drivers
I just bought a 2004 Ranger 2.3L that is in great condition. I previously had a 2002 F150 but the gas miliage was killing me. Its an awesome truck but being 6'-7" makes my head rub the roof a little too much.
My question is: Has anybody ever lowered their driver seat about 2"? Mine is a 60/40 bench seat so i assume its possible. I figured all I would have to do is cut the brackets...
Let me know if its possible or ever has been done? Some pictures would be great...
Thanks,
Carl

i would do a custom headliner... take the hump out... or just sit more reclined with a gangsta lean... that's what i do, i'm 6'2"
my roommate drove my truck a couple days ago, he's 6'5" and he moved the seat forward and positioned it so it is up straight... don't know how he managed to do it...

About 4 years ago, a member named DJ Vegh (N74DV) posted some pictures of a cut and rewelded seat frame to lower the seat in his Ranger. It was either here or maybe on OffRoadRangers which has been down for months. I can't find the thread now and he is no longer active on R-F but I think you might be able to contact him anyway. Google his user name N74DV and you'll find it on some other non-Ranger forums.

my 1st gen had a full length bench seat....
i had to take it out cause the wheel would rub my legs....ended up taking the bucket seats out of my grand am and welding them to angle iron on the floor. i found the perfect height using shims and once i did that, i permanently welded them to the floor pans. i couldn't slide the seats on the tracksbut i could still lean them back (a whole 2 inches) if i wanted
i basically customized the seats so i could fit (i'm 6' 3")

this thread makes me LOL
im 5'4'' and i made risers for my 60/40 when i installed it. the seat tracks were different because the seats were from a reg cab so i had to make a riser to make it sit level, so once i did that, i just added another 1.5" to the rear risers...

My advice is perhaps to find an older set of seats that are clean and swap them in. OR as others have mentioned, perhaps try modifying the seat brackets?
