The drivers seat has a tendency to sink all the way over time and I find I need to pump mine back up every few days or so.

If your rig is still under warranty, Toyota will fix it for you for free.

I'd be willing to bet that a good shop could work something out for you. I doubt there is a product sold for the issue but I don't see why you couldn't essentially add spacers to the seat.

It's really simple to raised the seat by making new brackets but remember your neck stretches about 3"s so the extra room is great if you happen to roll over.. Easiest thing I do to get into the correct line is to look ahead and by doing so you drive the same path you see.. I rarely look directly in front of me.. Example on a street bike going around a corner a tend to look through the apex poin and when I get there I'm already focused on the exit and preparing to exit the corner.. It takes time to react to what you see so it's best to look ahead and your mind will follow with reaction

Get some spacers and longer bolts at the hardware store.

I was thinking about modding an air ride seat base. But the only down side is that you are closer the roof....Headache.
