YJ
Anyone who has installed aftermarket seats in a Jeep YJ has run into the same issue. You bolt everything in and suddenly you are sitting too high in the cab. Your head is close to the roll bar and the driving position feels off, especially on the trail where body position matters. These will not work with factory Jeep YJ seats.
The factory seat mounting points in the Jeep YJ were never designed around modern aftermarket bucket seats. Most aftermarket seats have thicker bases and different mounting patterns, which pushes the seating position up higher than intended. This creates clearance issues with the roll bar and changes driver comfort and control.
This Motobilt seat mount system corrects that problem by lowering the seating position and giving you control over final seat height. The brackets bolt into the factory floor locations, then use a slider system with adjustable mounting brackets to fine tune how low or high you want to sit. This is especially important for taller drivers trying to gain headroom in a Jeep YJ with aftermarket seats.
The system was designed using real build experience and 3D scan data from the Jeep YJ to ensure proper fitment. It was originally built around PRP seats, but it works with most aftermarket bucket seats using the common 14 inch wide by 18 inch deep mounting pattern.
The brackets are laser cut and formed from 3/16 inch steel, giving you a solid mounting structure that holds up to real off-road use. This is a practical solution for builders trying to improve seating position while keeping a clean and functional interior layout.

My factory seats are too high will this fix that?
These will not work with factory seats but it correct that if you also install aftermarket seats with the correct mounting pattern of 14 inch by 18 inch. These will NOT work with stock seats
Will these work with any aftermarket seat?
They are designed for seats with a 14 inch by 18 inch mounting pattern, which is common across many aftermarket brands including PRP.
Do these mounts retain the factory fold and tumble feature?
No. These brackets are designed for fixed aftermarket bucket seats and do not support fold and tumble functionality.
How much lower will I sit compared to factory mounts?
That depends on configuration, but running the brackets in the lowest position lowers the seating position typically around 1.5 inches with aftermarket seat installs.
Are these required for installing PRP seats in a Jeep YJ?
They are required when running their suspension style seats.
