Default Seat Height

Anyone find the seat height uncomfortable? Like it's too low and makes you feel like you're sitting in a lounge chair with your legs stretched out...

In my old Wrangler you could add seat lift blocks... anyone know how to get the seat higher?

I'm sitting on a few now! Actually the issue is the "lounge chair" affect with my legs stretched out forward.... different from my Wrangler where I'm in a more upright position!

It must be a thing with the windshield height. I am 6'0 and it seems just about right, although like a lot that I have heard from I have to tilt my head at stop lights and that really sucks. Otherwise, I am happy with the height. Maybe there are some type of spacers that you can put in, although I am sure the bolt length and location may prohibit that.

I'm 5'6 and the seat height is one of the only things I hate about our H3. I grabbed some fender washers at Lowe's and stacked several under the rear mounting bolts, the factory bolts are pretty long, I think I was able to raise the rear by 3/4" and still have plenty of threads in the floor, the front seat mounts are bolted in a way that spacers wont work. It helped alot, the bottom cushion took a few rides to get use to it being at less of a rearward tilt but now when I jump in the unmodified passenger side I can tell how much better I like it.
