Just a quick hello, I'm a new member to the forum from the UK. I have a 2014 tourneo connect, lowered front and back with gaz rear dampers on ST wheels. I'm interested to know if anyone has any good info on the new active range that they have brought out? I am tempted to see if the higher ride height can be retro fitted to normal models? Cheers, Aaron. 16890758133591251025.HEIC 14440942389181326241.HEIC 9925446816062521746.HEIC

It is possible to raise the front seats up 2” using easily-obtained parts with no drilling or machining. Is it safe? That’s up to you. I’m sure Internet Lawyers and Internet Engineers will be along shortly to debate it. I am neither of those. Here’s what you need: Zone Off Road 2” body lift blocks (4 per seat) M10x1.5 75mm class 10.9 steel screws/bolts Torx T50 bit (to remove OEM seat bolts) 15mm socket (to install new bolts)

Ok, I did it. Ordered the spacer pucks above and these bolts:

So I showed the above 5/8” deck blocks to a friend who’s into Jeeps. He told me that they looked similar to the “body lift” blocks used to raise a Jeep tub above the frame to allow bigger tires. Some googling and eBay searching and I found a guy selling custom Delrin blocks, and also mass-produced molded ones. These things are designed to hold a lot of weight (commercial ones advertised at 60,000lbs!) so shouldn’t crush under a car seat even under crash load. ZoneOffroad.com Anyone try something similar?
