Default 2000 zr2 front seat replacements

i have a 2000 zr2 blazer and i dont like the front seats. i want to find a set of seats that will fit in it that will still let them fold forward to allow access to the back seats but will let the back be less leaned back when sitting in them. not sure if its just my seats or if its all 2 doors but i like to sit up more straight while im driving and my seats dont do that. not too big a deal if theres nothing i can do but i figured id look around and see if anyone has any suggestions

Your seat do adjust so you can sit more upright. The problem is that the handle that allows you to adjust them has broken off, which is very common. I guessing you don't even have the handles. Dorman, I believe, has a kit to reattach the handles. I just put a small vise grip on my passenger seat, as I never ride there, and my driver's seat still have the handle and works fine.

Go to the parts yard and pull the handles of a Blazer and get two kits and you'll be fine. Unless, you really just don't like the seats.

Stock Blazer seats kind of suck. I want to put heated Corvette seats in mine, it's just getting the rails done right is a massive pain in the ***. Also the seats themselves are $$$$.

If all else fails, you could probably put spacers under the rear of the seat brackets to tilt the whole seat forward a little.

they do still have the handles but they dont lock in forward enough to be comfortable. i can only go back from where theyre set. i have thought about putting spacers in the back and ill probably end up doing that.
