5’8” medium build (80kg)  - but if you ask @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO he’d insist I was a Hobbit 😁
 

I actually had to lower my aeroscreen so I could see over it - so he has a point.

Just measured mine (JKs with standard floors) - lowest part of the seat to the line of the side of the body is 28cm with runners and 30cm without runners

Here’s a few pictures and dimensions of my seat.

 

 

 

 

As you ca see the bottom of the seat is level with the base mount so with the padding it’s roughly 15-18mm to the lowest part of the seat.

 

My runners are 25mm.

 

 

From the upper edge of the bodywork (where you get in) to the floor it measures 360mm.

 

Hope this helps, if you need to know any more just let me know 👍🏼

I have jk’s in mine in two different sizes & I’m 6’ & 17 stone. I used to have them on runners but I’ve since removed them & bolted them straight to the floor, at the lowest part of my  Is only about half inch off the floor.

Thanks Andy ,

              I talked to Jk today and he recommended two different sizes for a wide body with Mt 75 tunnel .

 4246 and.3946  , is that what you have , did you have to trim the shoulder of the drivers seat ? 
Don’t suppose you have any pictures. 
 

Thanks

Yes I think they are the sizes I had & yes I had to trim the shoulder part of the seats, the lower you mount them the more you have to shave off.

 

I’ve only just put the seat back in & you can’t tell I’ve trimmed the seat when it’s fitted. But I’ll try & take a photo tomorrow.

Oh and don’t forget JKs are SUPREMELY comfortable. Like 10-12 hrs in the seat comfy.

Yeah completely different driving position to sport turbo which I find to be way too upright!
