You can only change the seat back angle. Seat cushion angle change would be nice

Yeah, the rear of the seat changes more than the front, but by the time you’ve changed the seat cushion angle enough, you might be on the floor and it’s just too low.

It sounds like the Seat Jacker may be the trick for you. If you try them, please post up and let us know if they help. I can manage to get my driver’s seat to be tolerable thanks to the lumbar adjustment, but if it could be better I wouldn’t complain. The right seat, however, has no lumbar and I hate it. Thankfully, I don’t have to spend much time as a passenger…

I guess the shims are wedge-shaped to keep the bolt head square against the piece. This would be pretty hard to replicate without your own machine tools. Or you could just use plain bar stock with holes drilled in it, and don’t worry about the bolt going in at an angle, which is probably fine…

Some people don't have the spare metal, drill press, template dimensions, coating/paint, and bolts just laying around in their garage. Not to mention the time out of their lives to make this.

The height adjustment changes the seat bottom angle. I am 6'2" but actually sit pretty high up, to flatten out the bottom.

I mean, a person who owns a CNC can charge whatever they want... but seat risers aren't a new idea to the Bronco platform.

I put them together myself on my old Skyline and M Coupe thanks to a DIY thread I found a long time ago.

You can accomplish the same thing with heavy duty washers. So you pull one of your bolts out, measure and figure out how much rise you want. Go to ACE hardware with your bolt, use their tool to determine bolt diameter and thread pitch... Then you get as many washers to make the thickness you want, then you buy bolts that measure OEM bolt length + height of the washers. Then you install.

See a doctor. It’s your back not the seat. Hope you feel better.

Many people have already suggested these... I think I'll give it a try

Check with Justin McBride's YouTube channel as he did a review of them (cliff notes - he recommends them). There was also an affiliate discount code that he provided. I'm not sure if it is still valid.

here to pile on for seatjackers. 6'10", similar issue.

I ran into an issue with my driver's seat. Was fine for the longest, then I put my Viair compressor behind it on the floor. It ultimately moved under the seat which caused lumps. I removed it but it seems they are still there. I bought a seat cushion for the time being which helps. I figured the seat would have smoothed out by now.

I find my base with Katskinz (sp) to be as comfortable as my previous F150's. I'm 6'2" for reference. I had a Tacoma prior to the Broco and those seats and sitting position are awful. Added seat jackers and it didn't help at all. YMMV.

The height does change the seat angle? I really wish I could dip the front of the seat bottom cushion down just a little bit

Seats are obviously very personal. At least for me these are some of the more comfortable seats I've ever had.

You could raise the back of the seat using risers to do this, but I imagine you wouldn't want to add much in the back, maybe 1/4".
