Need more leg room? Tired of being cramped up for hours of driving and not being able to stretch out? Here\u2019s a great solution for you or anybody else that\u2019s not, shall we say, \u201cvertically challenged\u201d \u2013 a seat base adaptor plate. The Iowa Custom\u2019s Seat Base Adaptor can move your seat back, giving you up to 7-1\/2\u201d of additional leg room, which is adjustable in 1-inch increments. The added room makes entering and exiting your semi easier, too! The adaptor is offered in several different widths to accommodate different seat base sizes and is available in several different finishes and colors to accommodate your taste and the look of your truck. Finally, the seat base adaptor plate is designed for the \u201cDo-It-Yourself\u201d driver\/owner. Each adaptor is manufactured in the USA and made to match your specific brand of seat, making all of the holes line up for ease of installation. Just grab a few tools, and in no time, you will have your aftermarket seat installed!<\/p>\n

1) First, you will need to remove the mounting bolts in your existing seat, disconnect the seatbelt and seatbelt tethers, and disconnect the air supply line to your seat. You may also have electric supply to your seat if you have a massaging seat, etc.<\/p>\n

2) For this step, you will likely need some help from a buddy. Remove the seat from the truck.<\/p>\n

4) Now, hopefully you didn\u2019t send your buddy home yet because you\u2019ll probably want him around for hoisting your seat back into the cab! We recommend applying some masking tape or something similar to the bottom of your seat base to keep from scuffing the top of the seat base adaptor while you are putting the seat in or adjusting from setting to setting.<\/p>\n

5) Place the supplied bolts through the bottom of your seat base into your seat base adaptor. We recommend putting your bolts in loosely and then sitting in the seat and checking to see if you like the setting before tightening everything down.<\/p>\n

6) Reconnect your seat belts, seat belt tethers, and air lines. Test your air controls to verify everything works properly, and then enjoy all that extra leg room!<\/p>\n
