Rear Seats

[smccallister]

How do you fold the rear seats down to access the space behind them?

They don't fold down. There is no real usable space behind seats

Shoot. I am going to be adding rear airbags and was hoping to put my small air compressor back there.

Maybe you could fit it under the seat towards the back of the cab .

Yeah very possible.

Maybe try this thread?

There is a white hook on each of the seat that you can remove a few inches off & they will be able to fold down.

There is a release latch on the back of each rear seat... it's a small tether you have to pull, then it will fold down.

Only models with reclining rear seats will have the tether. All other models you will have to remove each half by removing two 18mm and two 10mm bolts and then lift the seat slightly to pull them forwards.

If you don’t have e-torque or a factory sub there may be enough room behind either side to put a small compressor.

If you don’t have rear reclining seats they don’t fold down.

maybe he has a HD with a megacab? OP give us a lillll more information

 

[smccallister]

Thank you all! I will be removing the seats soon and cutting off a bit of the metal piece to allow this to work. Since I have Etorque with a factory sub, hopefully I have the room to install a compressor.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Just got the damn seat out and there is like 1-2” behind it.

Looks like it will go in the storage compartment under the rear seat.

How about the RAM BIN for mounting?

I thought about that, but I plan on getting locking covers for the 2 of them for other items. I may actually throw it in there for a couple days and see how I like it though. Thanks!

This is the one I was looking at to mount to the frame underneath. But since I had the compressor from my old truck, I figured I would use it and save the $350.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I was posting that for mounting ideas. Whoops.

Oh gotcha. That’s definitely a great idea.
