Question Seat Belt Help

I installed the new bucket seats on the truck and now the seat belt end (not sure what the name is) on the right side of the driver seat and passenger seat are not coming up high enough like I want them to. The end comes up barely enough to rise above the seat. Seats are good fit and everything but I was wondering if other trucks like blazers or suburbans have taller seat belt endsor maybe longer belt or if I just need to get a whole new seat belt setup? Any ideas

Not sure how tall mine are, I will try to get out there in a little while and measure them.

Brandon, i have a set of tan seatbelts for a factory bucket setup. it sounds to me like your seats sit higher than a factory bucket, so these still may not do you any good. i havent seen them in a while, i dont remember what condition they are in, but if they would work, i'd be willing to makee you a deal on them.

The plastic pc that my seat belts click into, comes up a good 14" off the floor. If I stand them up straight (they tilt a little toward the front) they come up just about 1/2" higher than my console.

Hope this helps.

I'll measure mine and compare the length to the ones you guys have.
