I have the tracks, quadratic premium spice seats and just ordered this kit. It looks like we lose the ability to fold and tumble the lower seat riser that allows the seat to fold into the dash. Is that correct? The handle that is in the 2003-06 is no longer available.
Yes, you are completely correct.
When you install aftermarket seats and replacement slider/adapter kits on a 2003–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ, you do lose the factory floor-mounted fold-and-tumble mechanism built into the original 03-06 lower seat riser. Because Jeep changed the seat base design for those model years—moving the tumble release handle directly onto the factory seat frame—most aftermarket adapter brackets and slider assemblies replace that mechanism entirely, meaning you lose that specific fold-and-forward tumble feature.

Do this work with the Bestop Trailmax II Pro seats in a 03 TJ
Yes, the Quadratec Seat Slider with Adapter for the 03-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ works with Bestop Trailmax II Pro seats in a 2003 TJ.
The Trailmax II Pro series features a multi-hole bottom frame pattern engineered specifically to accept factory-style seat tracks and aftermarket replacement sliders (like this Quadratec adapter kit) for 2003–2006 TJ applications.

Do the sliders come the the hardware? How do you use the oem seatbelt?
The kit includes the adapter-to-seat hardware, but it relies on your factory hardware for the floor mounting.

Can I still use my under seat
Yes, you can.

I plan to replace my stock seats with the Bestop Trailmax II seats. I have a 1997 TJ and the hardware is pretty beat up. Even though this adapter is for the '03 and later TJ, would this be an option since the seats are designed for this adapter? Or would there be an issue due the OME seat risers?
Unfortunately, the Quadratec Seat Slider with Adapter (#24210-2009) is not compatible with your 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ.
There was a significant change to the Jeep TJ interior in 2003. The floor pan mounting points and the seat riser bolt patterns for 1997–2002 models are completely different from the 2003–2006 models. Because this adapter is engineered specifically for the later 2003–2006 floor mounts, it will not line up with the factory risers in your '97 TJ.
The Correct Way to Mount Bestop Trailmax II Seats in a '97 TJ:
Bestop Seat Adapter Brackets (#51256-01): These are the specific powder-coated brackets designed to mate Trailmax II seats directly to your existing factory 1997 risers. This is the most common solution, though it relies on your current risers being functional.
Replacement Sliders (76-95 Style): Interestingly, the Trailmax II seats use the older "CJ/YJ" bolt pattern on the bottom of the seat. For a 1997–2002 TJ, you typically use the Bestop brackets mentioned above to bridge the gap between that seat and your TJ riser.
