    I had a set and ended up pulling them out again after a year or so.

    Not only do they move the whole seat forward, but they raise it up a little too. Not much - maybe 1/4" - but it was enough for me to notice and enough to make the seat position feel awkward. My wife didn't care, though, and I do most of the driving, so overall it was worth it to improve rear-seat access, since there was virtually no downside for me.

    As for installation, mine did not install easily - I had to do a little bending to get them to match up to the seat mounts, and I had to Dremel out the mounting holes to get them to line up with the screw holes in the floor pan. Not so easy. Plus, I still had to do a little pushing and prying to get the bolts in, and that tension ended up breaking one of the seat rails after several months.

    They are a great idea, and they do improve back-seat access, but I realized that in that year or so that I had them installed, I only had someone riding in the back about 3 times, so what's the point if it's just the wife and me?

    At first glance, I thought the post read, "Passenger Seat Ejection Kit" and started to wonder just what exactly JHarris1385 did for a living to require the installation of such a kit.

    You need to put the front bolts in first but leave them loose so you can move the brackets around. The brackets are slotted to account for variances in manufacturing. I actually have 2 sets in stock at the present time along with 3 hitch kits.
