Rear Seat Recline Kit (Compatible with Jeep Wrangler 4-Door JKU, 2007-2018 All Models)

Any issues with the product are on the installer. The instructions were top notch. I almost bought the cheaper version of the kit, but all reviews said bad instructions. Glad I splurged a little on the better kit with good instructions. Simple install, but you do need a few tools, including an 18mm socket.FIRST!!! If you have a pneumatic wrench, USE IT! Seriously!!! I got the first seven bolts loosened/off using a breaker bar (which almost broke me). Went to do the last three back legs for the seat. No can do. Seriously, no matter what, I couldn't get them loosened. After fighting with it for an embarrassingly long time, I finally grabbed the air compressor and impact gun. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Got the last three off in way less time than it took me for even one using the breaker bar.SECOND!!! Before you even start, park your Jeep at a slight incline so the doors fall open forward and you aren't fighting with them. Open the front doors, remove the strap that limits how wide the back doors open, and open them into the area where the front doors would be. If you don't open front doors first, you could ding your Jeep.THIRD!!! Instructions say to use seat belt. It seemed ridiculous to even fight with that, so I grabbed a medium bungee and pulled the seats up with that. Super easy.The hardest part of the entire install was getting those daggum bolts off!!! USE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IMPACT WRENCH. Seriously, if you don't have one, it is worth going out and buying one just for this job. I doubt it will be your last Jeep mod. ; D.

This kit was a perfect fit and easy to install. It is a good value for the big change it makes in sitting in the back seat. Install tip** I do recommend using some WD40 on the bolts as you take them out and power tools are your friend for this job. Only took about an hour with the right tools.

I bought these after waiting for a long time. I finally pulled the trigger and all of my backseat passengers were super thankful. It was super easy to install. It makes a huge difference. I would show you the improvement but I sold my Jeep.

Yup, they work well! The install is relatively easy and if planned out well, shouldn't take more than 30 minutes total. However, as others have said, the factory bolts are tight and look to have a thread lock of some sort. I used a 1/2" compact impact driver and had no problems (DEWALT-DCF894HB). With the front seats pushed forward there's adequate room to work, but it can be a bit tight. Also, some existing bolts are in a tight place and could be difficult to reach without a smaller tool or extension and a U-joint. If you are installing these with hand tools, you may need a breaker bar...the bolts are tight, but they will move.The directions are a bit awkward, so study them a tad. Note that when you remove the bolts holding the seat down, continue to remove the other bolts and then reassemble. The residual thread lock may make the new bolts a bit tough to get started, but not that bad on mine.The resulting effect is a much more comfortable seat with a bit more room for passengers.

With back seat reclined 2.5 inches, hearing no more complaints how uncomfortable, upright, rear seat was.

Purchased item to add more space for rear passengers — advertised to add space between passengers and front seats. My issue arose after I discovered Jeep changed the fasteners used to secure the rear seat — rear fasteners. The outside bolts on my Jeep were replaced with threaded screws — so I was unable to use the spacers — unable to get the nut to grasp the threads to secure the seat with spacers. Also, the front bolts definitely need to be removed with an impact tool — unless you are a body builder — in my seventies, so my upper strength has diminished with age. Reason for impact tool, bolts have an adhesive tape on the bolts, making removal very difficult in a confined space. Tried initially with a breaker bar — before using impact tool.

If you have anyone riding in your back seat, then you need these. The difference they make in the seat position and comfort is amazing. The hardest part was getting the old bolts out so get a breaker bar and some penetrating fluid if your Jeep is older but it was worth the effort. I would definitely buy again!

This fit my 2016 JKU Rubicon with no issues and it's shocking how just a few hunks of delrin can completely change the comfort of a vehicle. Looking at the reviews and now since installing the kit I can tell you the average review will most likely depend on what tooling you have at your disposal. I was able to finish this project in little under a half of an hour thanks to my half inch impact, followed by proper torquing.The delrin is machined nicely and the bolts are high quality. There's not much else to say except for maybe there should have been a patch of Loctite on the bolts or a small blister of it included to keep it factory style. All in all I have nothing bad to say and I'm thankful for the kit. Oh yeah, you can tell they take pride in their directions; atta boy for that one!
