There is a company that makes a riser kit for the back seat witch are basically small aluminum blocks and some longer bolts . They go between the seat brackets and the floor and are very easy to install I found them on amazon

There are spacers available for the TJ's and all the Jeeps before them, but nothing for the JK's. We even asked a few custom shops to do it and the answer was no every time. Living in CA does not help either.

The only thing I can think of is to get a right hand drive driver seat and install it, but finding one with black leather is not easy nor cheep.
