These do not make my legs any closer to the steering wheel. I do have an after-market Grant wheel that is slightly smaller (1" or so) diameter than the original stock. But I sit no higher in these than with the others. Of course the old ones were not stock Jeep seats either. So I can't speak to whether these are higher over a stock original or not. The seat bolsters are a bit thicker than my old ones. So getting in/out does have me closer to the steering wheel. But once seated, no difference. These are stiffer/firmer also. Hoping that settles down with some use. Love the adjustable recline. I had spacers under the rear mounting points on the brackets with the old seats to bring them more upright. Now those spacers are gone since I can adjust the angle of the rear part of the seat. I'm not driving a low rider where I need to be so far reclined all the time.
I mentioned that the wiring harnesses for the warmers was included. But what was not included is any instructions. There are two harnesses with some control modules, the switches (with high and low settings), and relays and a fuse holder. Most of that is easy to figure out. But the control modules may take some trial and error, along with a Youtube video or two. Since I already have power in my center console, I am planning to tap into that rather than running more wiring along the floor or drilling holes in the dash for the switches. Also have to figure out what to do with the inflator bulbs for the lumbar supports. They are literally a squeeze bulb (think like a blood pressure cuff) with about 20" of hose that connects under the seat. I just tucked them into the seat back pockets for now to keep out of the way.
