Default Front seat brackets

Does anyone know if the front seat brackets from a 2 door will fit in a 4 door?
I know the local dealer states that the inner and outer part numbers are the same, but doesn't the 2 door model have a flip forward base?
I am needing a set of seats for my unlimited and can only find seats out of a 2 door.
thanks, Ricky

Thanks for the reply.
How does the seat in a 2 door allow rear seat access?
Then, I can get the 2 door seats and be done withthis part of my build.
Thanks again,
Ricky

My passenger seat in my 08JK flips forward, but unsure if it is the same method as 4 doors. Mine may just slide forward further, pax can only enter on pax side.

the passenger side seat in any JK does not flip forward (as with the TJ), they slide forward (tilting the back of the seat forward does not count as flipping up in my book), and not far enough either. i don't use a back seat, but many have complained about this issue.

I removed my back seat and use the area to carry my work supplies. If you need good back seat access, the two door is not good.

The seat in my 08 does not flip forward either. I really want to add that as a mod.
