Lift/Raise the Seat?

2020AT4 · September 2, 2020

This might sound kinda dumb, but I'm considered short by most standards (5'8"). I have a 2020 AT4 and have the seat raised all the way up (fully adjustable power seats) and it still feels like I can barley see over the front of the hood of the truck. I don't have a lift/leveling kit or anything on the truck to raise the front end or anything. I realize the body style has changed with a shorter & higher hood, but it still seems like I could see over the hood in my old 2010 Chevy WT with manual sliding seats that couldn't even adjust up or down; I know the 2010's had the longer & lower hood. My dad used to have a 2013 or 2014 Chevy 3/4 diesel that also had a shorter & higher hood, and I could actually see over the front of that hood a lot better, not sure if the power seat was able to raise up higher in that one than these newer ones or something.

Just wondering if there is any kind of kit to raise the seat in a 2020 AT4. I looked quick and saw some for manual seats; just wondering if anyone makes ones for power seats.

It's designed that way. Did you get the surround view cameras?

I'm 6ft1 with the seat all the way after I vacuumed the truck, up my sight lines aren't any better and I was basically against the ceiling.

6 foot tall guy here. I have the egr bugshield that sticks up about 2 inches off the hood. I can't see that shield from the drivers seat in mine so don't feel bad. I think this is why most people back these trucks into parking spots.

Yep, I have the surround view cameras, but I still like to be able to see over the front of the hood better. Using my foot I can push myself up off the seat and I can tell it makes a huge difference. It might not make a difference for you since you're 6'1", but I'm 5'8"...you're already 5" taller than me

A car pulled out in front of me a few weeks ago. I thought for sure we were gonna have an accident when all I could see was the roof of their car over my hood.

Same, turns out I still had 7-8 feet. I'm used to trucks from the 90's even when I pull up my driveway I think I'm awefully close to my garage door, then get out and find 6 feet.

Very upsetting because one day you are gonna think you have more room than you do.

I don't have surround cameras, whish I did. The towing mirrors creat enough of a blind spot at offset junctions that I almost took out a lifted Duramax. The mirror hid him completely.

I put this one in and I love it, makes all the world of difference https://www.ebay.com/itm/Drivers-Seat-Lift-Kit-2020-Silverado-Sierra-Truck-2nd-design-Trail-Boss/303673392052?hash=item46b4583bb4:g:Sx4AAOSwQoxdFAzs

Saw this on another post, a dude named Randy owns Seating Solutions and makes these seat lift kits. I ordered these from him (1-3/4" seat lift, the tallest one he makes) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Drivers-and-Passengers-Seat-Lift-2020-Silverado-Sierra-Truck-Full-Height/303669827414?hash=item46b421d756:g:Sx4AAOSwQoxdFAzs

Anyone else looking for these, the guy's name is Randy and his phone number is 770-401-9307. Great guy! He'll definitely help you get the right ones for your truck. Looks like they just shipped today. I'll post pictures once I get them installed.

I don't even have towing mirrors. If I had a camper or something, or towed more enclosed trailers then it'd be something I'd look into swapping out. I know what ya mean though, my dad got himself a 3/4 ton 2020 denali, and those towing mirrors are huge. He got a 3/4 ton diesel because my parents tow their 5th wheel camper with their boat behind the camper (good thing our state's max length for trailering is 75')
