Back seat mod
#2
The only way is to remove the factory hooks and make your own type but honestly, I'm pretty crafty and there's no other way than to kinda cob-job it. The hook design Chrysler came up with allows the seat to move up and down within the hooks while still staying attached. If you remove them the seat would just fall forward with nothing to hold it back. I'm sure you could just run a bungee chord if your a redneck that cares less about that sorta thing....lmao
Anything that would keep the seat from moving in the up/down motion when the bottom part is being lifted will cause the seat to not fold upwards. You can do one or the other.
Here's a quick sketch of the hook design if you haven't been behind there yet. The hooks are about 2" wide and like 3" long that slide into the "c" hooks on the back wall. there are 2 as pictured.

Sorry I didn't take any pics while I was doing it. The only tools you need are a decent pair of channel locks a utility knife, and an 8mm socket. The channel locks are for the torx screws that mount the seat back to the hinge. I KNOW the channel locks aren't the correct tool for the job but clearance issues made them the easiest tool. It ends up its a pretty self explanatory job.
1) Remove torx screw holding seat back on either side of seat. (total of 4 on split bench)
2) Pull up on seat back to disengage from hook and pull seat back out.
3) Using 8mm socket, remove catches on the back of the cab.
4) With utility knife, cut sound deadener to make room for upside down catches.
5) Reinstall seat backs. (lining up these mounts can be a bit of a PITA but its not too bad.
Best of luck!
