Default Seat Lever

On the 2 doors the passengers seat if you pull the lever on top folds and slides forward is the drivers seat suppose to do that too? I just had my passenger side fixed because I knew for sure that one did that how about the drivers?

Okay thanks, so what was the purpose of having two levers? They both do the same thing?

The top vertical lever is probably for those who are sitting in the back seat and need to reach the lever to get out.

The big lever lifts the bottom of the seat up (for you to sit higher)

I've been told there was also a fold and tumble drivers seat as an option on some jeeps.

If so I've never seen it? Can you get it aftermarket for the passenger seat? It's my only complaint with the jk

This is from Quadratec's bestop underseat storage console description.

Bestop’s new Locking Under Seat Storage Box for JK securely locks up valuables, and mounts out-of-sight conveniently beneath the driver’s seat.
Please note if your Wrangler is equipped with the fold and tumble front seat the mechanism will prevent this product from working on your vehicle. Also The Bestop Underseat Lock Box is not compatible with Jeep vehicles equipped with an under-seat electrical box.

So, I assumed (you know what that means), that the jeep had an option for a fold and tumble drivers side seat.

Sorry if I mislead.
