When attaching the seat to the riser, I took the fixed panel off so it was easier to get nuts on the studs. It comes off with 4 hex screws.

I doubt you will think it is too high. My wife is 5'7 and she loves it. We don't even use the booster anymore.

Awesome! I am 5'11 and the hubs is 6'5". So we are both pretty tall, and it still is too short...even with the bolster. Come on Axis/Malibu...get your crap together!

Lol. You are outside of the standard deviations.

Yup. The p-n-p bag until the seat rises and I usually throw a 350lb bag in the walkway if we are low on people. I have the 750s in the rear and run with the wedge.

I got it installed this afternoon, but didn't get a chance to use it. Tomorrow morning will be the test! Overall first impressions are that it would be nice if it was a little less for clearance to the steering wheel and overall comfort, but I am not going to pass judgement until we get to test it out towing.

So, I got the seat riser installed. Thanks for all the tips on the install!

Overall, I like it. I think it could be 3" instead of 4 though. That would make it a bit harder to install though. I might have my brother modify the box over winter, but for now, it's better than it was. My hubs hates it, but he typically only drives for me.

One unintended consequence was that now my mirror isn't high enough. I have the mirror mounted on the drivers window over to the left. Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do to solve? PTM sells a 4" extension for the bracket, but it's $100....so my seat riser project is getting pretty pricy!

YES! we had the same issue with the mirror. I moved it to the observers side. And then still had an issue adjusting it to see more that the sun pad. I asked PTM why I couldn't adjust it more. They suggested flipping the mirror upside down, which will give you more "tilt" on the mirror. That totally worked.

Ok cool. I will try that this weekend before I shell out another $100...

I too flipped my mirror mount even before I installed the riser, now it's still perfect on the port side window.
