2016 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Rear Folding Seat Modification

- What’s up everybody? This is a video on how to modify the rear seat of a Ram Crew cab to be able to fold down the seat for access behind. This is a great way to gain access to hide car audio amplifiers, tools, or custom gun racks. PLEASE NOTE: Do this mod at your own risk. If you cut the bracket too short the seat may not latch and may cause a safety issue.
Overall, this mod is pretty easy. I made one small mistake and accidently nicked my seat cover/seat on the back with the grinder but you dont even notice it. Just be more careful than i was when cutting the brackets. When cutting the brackets start with small cuts at a time.

Thanks for the video. Much easier mod than adding a bunch of washers under the mounts.
I love the idea of the hidden gun rack.
Thank you so much. I was having a hell of a time putting on my seat covers. This made it easy. Great video!
Best introduction by any I've seen so far ! You where explicit and to the point ! No questions need be asked thx!
Just did this mod on my brand new 2022 Ram 2500 Crew Cab. Took about 1.5 hours because there is more crap to deal with but it worked great. Thanks for the idea...
Just got my 22 this week, what else was involved?
Finally got around to doing this on my 2017 RAM 1500 QC. Works great!
Best version of a Ram 2500 quad cab rear seat mod/fix I've seen yet! Reason being I want to put my
XM 177 e2 back there. Just didn't want to mod it in just any fashion. Was going with raising the seat but didn't want to change the height geometry although it wouldn't be bad because I have a big amp under the seat and raising it would help keep it running cooler. Decisions, decisions??? 🤤😂
Definitely the best way to do this mod I've seen. Thanks.
Mine is a 2014 RAM 2500 Sportsman crew cab.
Great video, I mounted an amplifier for a subwoofer back there and needed easier access to it. This will help out a ton!
Thanks for the information, very helpful. It worked on my Ram1500 2017 3.6 L quad cab. Now I can place my Cooler and supplies with out damaging my seat covers Thanks again.
Thanks for showing me how to do this, I couldn’t figure it out. Old dogs can still learn new trick lol…. Thanks again 🙏🏻
Hardly seen truck lean like that we need that for a long trip ! Good idea thanks
Man! This is an awesome mod. I’m going to do this on mine. I was trying to install a seat cover and no way to do it as I can’t get behind the seat back. Great job!!
Awesome…Thank you 👊🏼
This weekends project! Thanks.
Very succinct and detailed. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the tutorial! Helped alot!
You are the MAN!!! Thanks for this !
Thanks for sharing. Gotta watch and make sure that grinding wheel doesn’t catch the seat though. 😉
I know right lol...
GREAT VIDEO DID THIS TO MY 2016 RAM SPORT QUAD CAB
Say man that was nice love it. I have a 06 ram 1500 and a 2012 2500 never been able to get behind anyone of them will try it this weekend thanks
Another option is to raise both rear seats by 3/4 inch .. just need longer bolts and a metal or wood spacer. This way you could return to factory if you wanted.
Yeah I thought about doing it that way but was worried about the seat not being fully secured for safety and losing head room. But absolutely, spacers would work.
Only problem is back seat won’t lock in if you raise the seat
True, so if you need a speaker box for example that requires you to add spacers, I would suggest adding spacers first and then cut small adjustments as needed.
Actually, as long as you haven't cut the seat holding bracket, the 3/4 inch raise will lock and allow you to fold the seat down if you want.. did it to my truck
And just for clarity.. I used 3/4 inch plywood which is technically 23/32 in the states. Just in case the measurement diff matters ..
Perfect explanation Brother thanks!
Awesome video, very helpful
Thx! Worked perfectly!
Worked on my 2017 and 2019 ram 1500 classic a great mod you can do yourself thank you
Nice slice and tuck job!🤔😁
Yeah we all make mistakes. Luckily it was just the seat cover lol.
Great info!
Nice video my guy! Thanks for the tip. I’m definitely going to do this for my amp install. I would like to know what kind of seat covers those are? They look nice. Thanks again.
Clazzio Faux Leather Seat Covers.
Genius! Thank you!
Very helpful ❤
I’m interested in a bit of an update, did you end up making firearm storage back there? Interested in doing the same on my truck
Awesome thank you so much!!!
Dude thank you!!!! Btw, this worked on my 5th gen. Same style latch
Thnks fr the info👍👊👊..
i did it to my 2019 ram(New body)works the same way.share it with other guys who have rams.they asked me "what would i put back there"....?..if i got to tell you😄😄👍❗
This is a good idea
Oh Yeahhhh!
Thanks 🙏🏾
I want to see the gun mount
I wanna do this to my classic Express
Hey brother nice video. quick question are the seats able to fold flat or only as far as your folded em in the video?
They don’t fold flat as the seats were not designed that way but if you need it for hauling something it may compress flatter with weight on top.
It doesn’t look like there is a lot of room behind there once the seat is back into place…. May have to trim some of that liner behind for anymore room… great video… I might try this on my 17 3500
Correct, not a ton of space but with some creative tweaks, could be useful.
Good idea but you have to luck bottom seat incase of accidents seats will not move
Four Thumbs Up
I have wondered for Five years how to do that- 2008 1500
Does the back fold all the way down flat enough to put a air mattress on it? (Hotshot otr)
It’s possible…it’s gotta be better than sitting and reclining the front.
Are we just going to avoid the fact that you cut the leather seats with a cut off wheel? Good mod BTW. Will be doing to my 13'
Thanks and yes, I did accidentally cut the leather seat cover, not the actual seat. I did mention this already in the description.
you cut that seat too, didn't ya bo'wah , he he heh
Yeah I nicked my seat cover lol
@@DieselLegiance I have the same luck
Will this work on any trim level? Such as a Laramie Longhorn
It should but I can’t 100% be sure.
Does yours have a subwoofer in the back
I have two 10” subs under the back seat.
I hope it works on my 2012 1500 laramie
It should, but you can also achieve the same result by adding spacers under your seat where the seat mounts to the floor. Either way works.
Ty
What keeps the seat backs from flying forward during a hard brake without the latches?
The latch still hooks on. When you lift the bottom seat up it look fits the back latch up too. When you trim the back latch just a little shorter, when the bottom seat lifts it lifts the top latch just enough to unhook.
This guy must watch without sound.
Cost you new seat covers too. You let the grinder get away from you.
Yep 👍🏼 accidents happen. The seat was fine though but I nicked the rear seat cover but was not worried about it as I already ordered a different set of covers at that time. I already sold this custom build and starting a new build this year.
Did you ever end up mounting a gun? Do you have pics?
Not yet, it’s on my long list to do though lol
Same I did the seat mod but have yet to mount something. Currently thinking oh just hanging a soft case and seeing how it works.
What seat covers are those?
Custom Clazzio Covers
we gonna talk about the damage to the leather? lol looks like the grinder got away from you
What’s there to talk about. It’s a leather seat cover. I nicked the cover with the grinder as I was not paying good enough attention and no one sees the back of the seat anyways. Everything else was fine. I even stated this in the description of the video. I’m not perfect and never claimed to be. I make mistakes like everyone me else. 👍🏼
@@DieselLegiance relax i was just cracking fun.
Lol I know…it’s all good. I appreciate you. 👊🏼
Will a hunting rifle in a case fit back there?
I’m not sure. If you take the rear baffle off it’s possible but I have not tried to confirm. I was thinking more of mounting a hard foam pad to custom cut out spots for an AR or pistol.
I seen how he cut his seat then tied to hide it
I did accidentally cut the seat. I did not hide it. Things happen.
@@DieselLegiance you DID in fact cut the seat and you DID also try and hide it. It is your truck. Cut the seat if you want too. I think the only way to make this right… is to make another video confessing the cover up and apologizing profusely… thanks. .. your faithful TH-camrs.
Make this right??? Make what right??? How about respectfully, no. I don’t need to film and edit another video. I accidentally cut the seat cover when cutting the bracket, so what. It’s my truck. I was just showing how to do this mod. If you do the mod, just be more careful than I was. God Bless…
@@ShinerBock2007 ... and found the first throwaway comment of the morning.
How did he try to hide it? Seems a little accusatory.... also any mod carries some risk...
I see the zip disc took a walk across your seat. Oof, amateur move
Yep, but it only nicked the seat cover not the actual seat. I never claimed to be a professional that doesn’t make mistakes though.
