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

We have been trying to find a kit for 5 years now and was told by every place that it is illegal do do that due to safety concerns. We just gave up.

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.
