Uncomfortable Lexus GX470 Front Seats. Seat Risers are the Answer!!

As you may know we like to travel and go on adventures. One issue which is well known in the GX community is how uncomfortable the front GX seats are on road trips, especially if you are tall and or have back problems. My wife could not go more than 3 hours without saying that she could not take it anymore. Until I found Ryan Argabright's seat brackets. He makes these to add 1.5 inches of lift to the seat bottoms in the front. This is crucial on the passenger side where there is no way to adjust the front thigh support. On the driver's side it gives you additional support. At first I only went with the passenger side. It was not long before I ordered another set for the driver's side.
These have made riding in the GX much more comfortable for both me and my wife especially on long road trips.
Currently the cost $45 a pair (1 seat) or $75 for a set (2 seats) plus shipping.
Contact Ryan Argabright on facebook messenger if you want a set! / ryan.argabright.7

I shot this video several months ago and I can tell you right now that these are a big help with adding comfort to the seats in the 03-09 GX470! Road trips are much more comfortable.

Hi Jamie. Does Ryan still makes these risers as I am interested in buying them?

Jamie, what is the gauge of the steel on those risers, and do you feel they will hold in a collision? My wife has trouble lifting her legs out of the footwell, and I want to raise her seat 3 inches to help her, but I don't want to compromise crashwothiness.

Could you tell me the dimensions of these seat risers? Looks like 2 in square steel cut at a 60 degree angle with a couple holes. I have access to the tools to fab these, would like to save myself from the $100 price tag. How far is the depth (length) on the top and bottom of the bracket?
@danhumphrey5755
@danhumphrey5755 2 года назад
They are 1.5" square tube cut at a 65 degree angle for a total length of 2..33" from point to point. There are plans for this on the GXOR site, but the dimensions are given in inches with decimals instead of fractions...so there's some conversion necessary. The set-back for the 13/32" holes is 5/8". Designer must have thought this would confound those who might try to copy his design.

Playing with the seat installation position is dangerous. Toyota/Lexus has set the seat in a certain position for crash safety. You may think “what is raising the front seat a bit going to do?”. You’d be surprised. Not to mention insurance may be an issue in the event of an accident.
@jamie.andrews
@jamie.andrews 2 года назад
What exactly do you think is dangerous about rasing the front of the seat 1.5 inches? I think the same could be said of any aftermarket installation including aftermarket seats, suspension, bumpers and wheels just to name a few.

@@jamie.andrews But you see, this is a mod for comfort. People who aren’t off roading and see this video on youtube looking for a solution to the seat issue will think “oh what a great idea” without realizing that it creates a possible safety issue. People who install off road mods like bumpers and lift kits know what they are getting into. You may not think that raising the front seat height 1.5” causes a problem but it does. If Toyota could have done it, I’m sure they would have raised the seat. They like making customers happy. But they didn’t because of crash safety. Go ask your dealership to install these and see what they say.

@@andybub45 I hear what you are saying, but there is a risk anytime you modify a vehicle. Buyer beware. I am not sure what type of risk these would have, but I am willing to take the risk to keep from having back pain on trips longer than 3 hours. Several companies sell these as well and I have not heard of any issues with them.

@@andybub45 Mechanically the seat can be adjusted by 3 in with the inbuilt (pre built) mechanism. They pass the Global Crash Test as well. Whereas here it is just half of it. A well modified are for better safety and comfort. For the sake of cost-cut the manufacturer make drivers and passengers suffer. OEM makes mistakes more than anyone. We can see them every where in our naked eyes.

So weird, maybe it's because I'm short, I'm 5'8" But I find the GX seats incredibly comfortable for long trips. I have a first generation Sequoia and a few small cars, I find my GX is by far the comfiest.
