I'd angle that drivers seat back some if you can before he puts in the bar, I raised the front of mine by 3/4" and it made those seats much more comfortable

How'd you manage to raise it? A spacer? New stud?

Could you possibly take a picture of how you accomplished this?

flip the seat upside down, the seat is held to the slider bracket with 4 bolts, loosen all 4, take out the front two, put in a spacer and longer bolts and the seat is angled backwards and much more comfortable.

What did you use for a spacer? Don't mean to beat you up with questions...just seeing trying to take the guess work out and do what you did...

Looks like you have some extra dead weight in the back.ie rear brackets for the seats and arm rest.

but looking good. I'm awaiting my cage install. Hopefully first or second wek of April I can drop the car off
