they do sit a tad higher but not much. It took a little fabricating to get them to sit almost the same height as stock ones. they look taller becaseu the back rest is taller then the orignal. The passenger seat looks higher because of the way it is sitting up. move the seat forward a little then recline and it looks the same. A buddy of mine did the same thing but he used the stock seat tracks and his sit up higher. I used the track that came on these seats.
