Default New seats..

Has anyone changed out their seats? Im not exactly comfortable in mine as is. Thought a new ram swap would be cool but didnt know if it could be done.

I would take as many measurements of your seat as you can (make sure to measure the bolt pattern exactly) and head to the dealership with a tape measure.

Sounds like a pretty custom job. I thought about taking the seats out of a dodge nitro but after looking at the mounting points it would have taken alot of work. Are your seats really hard? A friend of mine has a 06 dak and his seats are rock hard but mine, also 06, are very comfortable. I do not understand how they could be so different

Another option is to change the padding which would be easier to then changing the seats. I did it in a Jeep I had and it made the world of difference

Not exactly that upset to spend a ton of money on it but just thought it would be cool to see. My seats aren't hard at all (2008 laramie) i just simply cannot get comfortable in them. I am also adjusting coming from a 2001 Audi S4. They were unbelieveably comfortable, fit around you like a glove. It was just an idea so we'll see.
