Default JK front seat replacement for tall guy , any good options ?

Im 6'5 , have only driven wranglers having 4 different ones, in my TJ they made brackets called "big boy brackets " that allowed me to lower the seat a few inches plus it allowed you to slide the seat back a few more inches then stock which helped big time. Although the JK stock comes better then the TJ , my back is starting to feel it ( 8 herniated discs and 7 bulging ) so I'm constantly leaning to the side otherwise my head hits the bar
Basically id like to lower the seat down a couple inches , Im good as far as being far back , but I'm also looking for more lumbar support in the seat

Any ideas ? I still have those TJ brackets from my old TJ , think i can make em work ? Any after market options that might have better support ?

Any advise helps

So you don't want to go back to the brackets that worked in the past?

There are inflatable lumbar support systems you can buy and I have thought about doing so just not sure how long they will last. https://www.amazon.com/Rostra-250-14...BFV8Y4VNEM8248
