hi everyone , so i was lookin underneath my 09 ltz ext cab and was wondering if i was to make a 1 or 1 1/2 inch spacer and use longer bolts for where the seat supports or bolted to the body of the truck, would it work? prtoblems with strength or are the bolt accesable? also are there any supports behind the seat that i would have to mess with? i want to be able to fit a deep subwoofer under the seats so please respond back with any input on what i should or could do please

 

thanks you

Seems like it could work... I wonder if it will mess up the folding ability of the seat? Seems like you would have to mess around both the lower bracket where there seatbelts bolt in as well as something behind the seat. I haven't pulled mine apart to see what is back there, so good luck.

i fit a pair of memphis c3 12s under my 07 crew cab, there's a custom box, but the mounting depth wasn't big enough so i had to cut out the back and make it a little deeper, the seat is a little less comfortable now cause the box pushes up on it, but it's not bad.

Should be fine, probably will hamper the folding as one mentioned, but if you have subs underneath, whats the pt of folding?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
