This kit was a perfect fit and easy to install. It is a good value for the big change it makes in sitting in the back seat. Install tip** I do recommend using some WD40 on the bolts as you take them out and power tools are your friend for this job. Only took about an hour with the right tools.

Great product and makes a difference for back seat riders. I would suggest to make sure you have a heavy duty impact for the back 3 bolts. They sit at an angle and are super hard to remove. It took me about 3 hours just to get those bolts out with a breaker bar. Front bolts were a breeze.

If you have anyone riding in your back seat, then you need these. The difference they make in the seat position and comfort is amazing. The hardest part was getting the old bolts out so get a breaker bar and some penetrating fluid if your Jeep is older but it was worth the effort. I would definitely buy again!

I did my research and bought these over other brands due to the reviews and high quality bolts.I purchased during the Black Friday time period for $40 and feel that is a fair price.They are what they are, but are definitely worth installing. Look up the installation instructions by the company, they are top notch and install went well; though I ended up doing by hand, and couldn't have done it without my 1/2 inch breaker bar and torque wrench.

This was the first mod I did to my new JKU. I have 2 convertible car seats in the back and with the kids in them, it almost looked like they were sitting upright. That can't be comfortable for them. Alas, Innovative JK has this awesome and easy to install product to alleviate the problem!It took me less than an hour to install, and that was with filming the install/review for my YouTube channel. It is a MUST have for the back seat. I climbed in after the install, and the back seat is much more comfortable. It should come like this from the factory.A couple tips - use the seat belt to hold up the seat. May have to use some PB Blaster to help loosen the bolts. Some have needed a breaker bar, but I did not.

Yup, they work well! The install is relatively easy and if planned out well, shouldn't take more than 30 minutes total. However, as others have said, the factory bolts are tight and look to have a thread lock of some sort. I used a 1/2" compact impact driver and had no problems (DEWALT-DCF894HB). With the front seats pushed forward there's adequate room to work, but it can be a bit tight. Also, some existing bolts are in a tight place and could be difficult to reach without a smaller tool or extension and a U-joint. If you are installing these with hand tools, you may need a breaker bar...the bolts are tight, but they will move.The directions are a bit awkward, so study them a tad. Note that when you remove the bolts holding the seat down, continue to remove the other bolts and then reassemble. The residual thread lock may make the new bolts a bit tough to get started, but not that bad on mine.The resulting effect is a much more comfortable seat with a bit more room for passengers.

Good product which definitely helps back seat comfort. I was able to install in less than an hour with hand tools. Instructions are clear and in color. Two notes on installation. First, if you have a Rampage Rear Sport Rack or similar rear cargo rack, this will likely cause the seats to interfere with the use of that storage rack. I only use the storage rack when camping and the rear seats are folded down so I just removed the rack for the time being. Second, the instructions note that there may be lock-tite left in the holes from the original bolts making re-installing the bolts somewhat challenging. I recommend putting in and removing the bolts a couple of times prior to installing the blocks. I had one bolt hole with enough loc-tite that I was concerned the bolt was cross-threading. Much easier to drive the bolts in and out a couple of times without the blocks in place yet.
