SS Option Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 When I raised my seat with the 2" tubing I didn't have to extend the tabs. The seat will fold down, when you pick up the front of the seat, and pull the back down. -CL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoke03 Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 there are tabs on the back of the seat that hold the back rest in place. These are the tabs that people cut off to do the fold down rear seat mod. He is saying that if you go with anything over 2 inch tubing you will actually have to extend these tabs an inch or two. However, if you only use 2 inch tubing then you should be able to fold the rear seat down when you lift the bottom of the seat ( a$$ rest) up. So technically you'll be killing two birds with one stone you will have enough room for your subs AND have the seat fold down mod done,too. BTW- there is a post about this on here somewhere that goes into great detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocoop Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I did mine yesterday, I just used some big galvanized nuts that were an inch high, I barely got the stock bolts to screw back on to the studs, but it worked. When you take them off make sure you loosen the 18mm nut in the middle cause it holds those 2 metal cables on that keep the seat from lifting up when you unbolt the brackets. Ill post pics sometime this week if i can, I still havent test fitted to see if the box fits, i might have to make some 2" spacers. Would anyone be interested in buying some cause I can make them easy- I have a welder so I can weld in the new studs too- PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
