Out with the old, in with the new (seats)

And I'm calling the interior finished.

They're firm but comfy. Way better than the broken springs original LOL. Very easy to install. The "Nuetral" color they offered was a dead-on match for trucks with Fawn interior paint.

Re: Out with the old, in with the new (seats)

I found that bracket sat too high and had to lower it by 1 1/2 inches. I also had to widen it a couple of inches to actually fit the stock holes. what do you think about the cup holders in the center console that are behind you so you can't use them? I complained about these issues with these folks and didn't get very far, they aren't the most customer friendly folks! I do like the seats though but they are not perfect.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed that the bracket was too narrow to reach the outside holes for mounting in cab. I just mounted it to the inner holes and put bolts through the outers for now. I'm 6' tall and I'm fine with the seat height. I think that it'll vary for each person. It would be nice if they would design it with some flexibility in height adjustment though. Not hard.

Very happy overall with the seats themselves. Lots of storage in the center console, although the plastic is a little cheesy. And yes, the cupholder placement was a little puzzling. I'm thinking this is generic center console for vehicles with a second row seat is why those are there maybe? My coffee mug fits in the front ones though.

Re: Out with the old, in with the new (seats)

Looks great! You mentioned that they were a bit firm. Did you order them as the 4 spring stock design or did you upgrade to the 7 spring seat?
Thanks for posting. How about a picture of the truck a little farther back with the door open? Thank you.

4 spring. I'm 180# and they thought the 7 might be a little stiff for me.
