I met a guy in Utah with an X2, while I was sitting in the driver's seat, checking out his setup, he asked if I noticed anything different.
Yes, I do, I'm not being pushed forward at the small of my back.
He had made 1-1/2" seat risers for the front and 1" risers for the rear, tipping the seat back slightly in addition to the rise. I had already ordered the ebay 1-1/2" Jeep seat risers and I installed them when I got home. I liked the rise but was still getting pushed forward so I made a pair of 1" spacers for the rear. I installed them today and that small 1/2" tilt makes enough difference that it's obvious to me and I'm usually not able to notice lil crap like that.
Someone posted the ebay link for the Jeep risers and I clicked and ordered, sorry, no idea where that was. Note that Jeep must use different bolts - one seat uses four 8 mm bolts and the other uses two 8 mm and two 10 mm bolts. I think you'll have to source two more 8 mm bolts for the Talon (unless the passenger seat also uses two 8's and two 10's. The Jeep risers are also available in 2" rise for the shorter wife or kids.
Our very own @highpocket74 is making 1-1/2" seat risers for the Talon so you can forget ebay.

Now I'm not sure if I'll like the new pressure point behind my knees on the front seat bolster but whatever I end up with for height there will always be a 1/2" tilt back.
I used some scrap 1" square tubing I had laying around (and why one has extra holes) and some 1" x .100" flat strap to weld the ends shut for more strength (thin wall tubing isn't all that stout). I made them 2" square because there's room, the Jeep risers are 1-1/2" square.

Talon 1.5" seat risers
Picking up a batch of seat risers today from the fab shop. No pics yet but will post some ASAP. I need to find a couple pieces of bolting hardware first. I installed a 1.5" jeep kit like Adam did for the driver side. That worked ok. That got me thinking about the passenger side. I've not...
