Yes, you have come to the right place! Innovative AT Products was the first to design and develop the Rear Seat Recline Kit for your Jeep JKU as a complete solution for that uncomfortable stock rear seat Jeep JKU owners have all come to know. We have stood behind our product and continue to do so despite the copies ALL of which have failed to do it right. While others cut corners with materials, building overseas, and using the wrong bolts (ALL of them!) at the expense of your safety we continue to use the best possible materials and everything is manufactured right here in the USA. Our Jeep Wrangler JKU Seat Recline Kit contains the best quality components at the best price and provides the most recline hands down! Save yourself the trouble and stick with the original Innovative AT Products Rear Seat Recline Kit for the Jeep Wrangler JKU .
RECLINE GUARANTEE Our kit is the only one to provide 2.5 inches of recline in your JKU. The copies give you 1 inch less, which defeats the whole purpose of the product!
Domestic purchases ship FREE via USPS Priority Mail and International for only $10
Product Description:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1) How does it work?
The kit essentially
"rocks" the rear seat assembly backwards approximately 2.5 inches
(measured at headrest) by introducing the smaller spacers between three(3) of
the six(6) main mounting points. Once the seat is "rocked"
back, the four(4) front legs are lifted off the floor. The four(4) larger
spacers fill in the space between the leg base and floor so the angle between
the lower and upper seat sections remains the same as from the factory (and why
the spacers are of different sizes). This also allows the seat to fold up
and down as normal from the factory.
2) Why not more recline?
It would be great to get more
recline to further improve comfort. However, it comes down to one word,
SAFETY. As mentioned above, the spacers have been optimized to provide
the maximum amount of recline angle without modifications or unnecessary stress
to the factory components. In order to get more recline modifications
would be required to the factory brackets, more stress would be induced to the
factory brackets, and/or bolt engagement would be reduced at three(3) of the
six(6) main anchor points. Innovative AT Products believes these are unnecessary
safety risks.
3) Does the rear seat have to be completely removed to install the kit?
No: The kit is installed with the seat in place. Once the four(4)
bolts on each of the four(4) legs of the lower seat section are removed
(allowing the lower seat section to be raised) access is easy to three(3) of
the main mounting points of the rear seat where the recline is
introduced. The three smaller spacers are placed between the floor and
bracket of the forward mounting point of those three(3) brackets. This is
what provides the recline. The four(4) larger spacers then go under the
four(4) legs of the lower seat section to fill in the gap as a result of the
seat being reclined. The ratio of the amount of recline to how much the
legs are lifted is not 1:1 which is why the spacers are of different thicknesses.
4) How difficult in the installation?
The installation is very straight
forward and the instructions are very detailed with clear color photos.
The hardest part of the installation is getting the factory bolts loose.
All the bolts use a 18mm socket. A 1/2" drive 6 point socket is recommended along
with a breaker bar (at a minimum). If you have access to an impact
wrench, even better, it makes getting the bolts loose a simple task.
5) Can the rear seat be adjusted back to factory recline after installation?
No: Recline is fixed once installed (non-adjustable). The kit would have to be removed to return to the factory recline.
6) Why an Industrial Polymer and not Aluminum or Steel?
Industrial polymers are becoming more and more popular as alternatives to metals for cost, ease of manufacture, durability, and strength (especially in compression applications such as this one). Our early designs of the kit included aluminum and steel. We quickly moved away from steel for cost reasons, the fact coating was absolutely necessary, and weight. Aluminum is ok, but provides no real benefit when considering all aspects of the application. Additionally, using engineering stress analysis software we found that polymers provided a slight reduction in stress to the factory brackets (where the recline is introduced) compared to aluminum and steel. So when we considered aspects such as material performance in compression, stress to factory components, durability, strength, chemical and corrosion resistance, and a factory look industrial polymers came out on top.
7) What is a SEM bolt?
A SEM bolt is a
bolt with a captive washer. The factory bolt used for all the seat
anchor points in a Jeep Wrangler is a SEM bolt with a captive locking
conical washer. These new SEM bolts duplicate all the features of the factory bolt for function, strength, and safety.
8) Are factory OEM style bolts necessary?
Innovative AT Products has always preferred the factory bolts over a generic aftermarket bolt which lack critical features the factory bolts have for function, strength, and safety.
9) What about longer factory OEM style bolts for the three (3) smaller spacers?
The three (3) bolts that pass through the smaller spacers have more than enough length to accommodate the smaller spacers. If you look at these bolts (or any of the bolts for the rear seat) underneath your Jeep from the factory you will notice they are already longer than required and extend well past the mounting point welded to the bottom of the floor.
