Default Front Seat Sagging 98 Ram

I have a 98 ram and the Driver Seat is sagging really bad. I believe its a frame issue. Is it worth replacing the frame or finding a new seat at the Junk Yard.

I found this for 3rd Gen

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...-the-cure.html

but since mine doenst fall in this category would something similar work?

How difficult is it to fix things on these seats?

Best bet would prolly be to yank the seat, and take it to an upholstery shop. The seat bad degrades over time..... simply because someone ALWAYS sits there.

IIRC , you can swap the cushion with the passenger side.

Can't say, never did it. I imagine there are some bolts underneath that hold the cushion on. You'll just have to look.
