I looked into this. There is a product out there called LightinSight that is designed for seeing high traffic lights without bending down. I ordered one yesterday, and I'm not sure when to expect it in the mail. I will let you know how it works once I get it.

Here's the link if you want to check it out for yourself: .lightinsight.com"]www.LightinSight.com[/URL]

Wanted to revive this thread as I have the same problem. Has anyone found a viable solution to lowering the seats?

Well, you could always put the windshield down, I guess....

Just go when the the guy next to you goes? Don't be first in line at the light?

6'3" and same problem, but my neck still works so I just go with it.

They have aftermarket big boy brackets for 06 and older. But not the JKs. I am 6'4" and would pay good money to move my seat back and down another inch or two.

At 6'8" I find its easier to just look over the front windsheild. My bigger problem is that my head keeps hitting the rollbar when I go wheeling.

Default Lower seat bracket

I just got a 2016 Rubicon and I’m feeling the same about the seats myself. I’m 6’4” and my wife is 5.’. There’s no problem for her due to the factory lift lever that’s built into the seat but it don’t go down enough or back enough for me. I’m a metal fabricator so stay tuned as I’m gonna crack the code on this problem and give you all a solution very soon
