Don't have a lot of pics, but here is what I have. This seat is way more comfortable than in other truck seat I have sat in and maybe this is because when it came time to buy a diesel truck I wanted a Cummins engine and my seat is now used to the seat. You do sit a few inches taller than the stock seat, I am 5'-9" and have several inches from the ceiling--if you are tall, better measure or cut the seat frame down.
I did the same with the Dodge seats, I have a write up on the board somewhere. Love the seats, ride quality and comfort. They look great in the truck and my back enjoys them on long trips.
