Default lower your seat 1 1/2" for $20, easy with pictures
I have been wanting to do this mod for a while. Thanks Waldig (again) for the starter info and to BlueStorm and Couv for their write ups https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/tsbs-how-articles/35738-lowered-seats-more-headroom.html

I have the srt6 seats.

There are many ways and parts to use to do this but I will write up what I happened to do today;

3-4 hours

parts and tools;

-1. 2 each 1 1/2" long (important) grade 8 bolts in 3/8" or 10mm diameter, 4 each nuts, 8 each washers, 2 each lock washers, 2 each fender washers.
-2. 3" metal cut off wheels (used 2 each)
-3. 3" pneumatic cut off saw
-4. primmer/sealing paint (cover exposed cut surface metal)
-5. razor knife
-6. 17mm open end wrench (seat belt bolt)
-7. E-12 external Torx bit socket (seat mounting bolts)
-8. 7/8" drill bit
-9. drill
-10. RTV silicone or rubberized undercoating spray


Basic parts with order of nuts and washers on the bolt

Remove the 4 each torx bolts (slide seat forward and backward to get to them) and remove the 17mm seat belt bolt under the black plastic cap
