Misch Big Boy brackets. One bracket fits all 1997-2006 Wrangler TJ’s, including Rubicon and Unlimited giving you an additional 4 inches of leg room.

Thanks - can’t get those from Amazon here but Quadratec will ship to the UK so that looks tempting.
This is the answer. I am 6'7" and these brackets made the jeep driveable for me. Just a note that they will raise the seat up about 1/8" to 1/4" because the go between the floor an the seat brackets.
Damn! Can you even drive your Jeep in the colder months with the top on?
I feel my hair rub the top, but at this point in life I am used to it.
Life lessons as a tall person:
1. No sunroofs
2. don't wear hair product unless you like your headliner to get gross.
Other life lessons are very few things work like they should. Wheelbarrows are built for short people. Kitchen counters are at best a nuisance, bathroom counters are miserable. Really, they don't even come up to the bottom of my front pants pockets and that's supposed to be useful? Railings on fishing boat in rough water are but a mere suggestion to keep you from going overboard. Couches are awesome, sure, I really like sitting there with my knees above my chest, that is how we like to sit, right?

Anyone using them with the spacers for a seat lift?
I have a 1 inch (maybe 1-1/4, I can’t remember) seat lift and wondering if it would be too much leverage on the mounting hardware?

From pictures I’ve seen, it doesn’t look like it would raise it quite that high.
It appears more like just whatever the thickness of the bracket is.
Years ago I did some work for Jerome Kersey's of Portland Trail Blazer fame. I was at his custom built home where all of the counters were built at 42" instead of the standard 36" height, and the doors and celings were all high as well. Only home I have ever felt really comfortable in. Oh, to be rich.......
But your wife loves you more, every time she needs something on the top shelf in the cabinet and you have 12' ceilings.
Ya, and the random people at the grocery store that need stuff off the top shelf.

Probably closer to 1/8", but enough I noticed it.

Don't worry about lack of headroom. As you age your spinal discs shrink down and you'll need less headroom. I used to be 6' 5" but I've lost 1.5 inches!
6'8" in high school, 6'7" now. Already on my way down.
6'3". And i wouldnt be driving a TJ without the big boy brackets. There are knock off ones for way cheaper on offerup. That may ship to you. But i used the real thing. Best money ive spent by far.
The big boy brackets give u an extra 4 inches rearward. I only use a couple inches of it.
I wouldnt use seat lift blocks if your tall. Headroom will be sacrificed.
