Air ride seats ?

[perplexTom]

Hi,

I have installed an air ride seat today and it fit very good. Before the air ride seat i tested a spring seat and was not happy with it because the base of it was too high. Now i bought very cheap an air ride seat from a MAN TGA and the seat is manufactured of Grammer, a German brand.
I tested it not that much right now, but the little i tested it, it feels very comfy!
The air for it I passed by the air springs of the cab before the regulator for it (I think and hope), because i think air ride belongs to air ride, and it is not that critical like the brakes (i hope). So when I shut of the cab the seat is also off.
I still playing around with the Position for it.

Now I am looking for a air ride seat for the passenger side too, hope i find a cheap and good one too.

So in a post here i read, that the air springs can be adjusted left to right? Is this right? Because when i mounted the air for the seat, I see that the left spring comes not that high like the right one. But both seams to work and seams not leaking.

That looks like a great seat. Could you post a part number and any pointers on sourcing them?

That member is in Germany... hince able to get a MAN seat. Would be a bit rare to find one of those here in the States.

I was able to find the manufacturers website and they have 4 locations in USA. https://usa.grammer.com/usa.html

i've been looking at the Bostrom LTSS. It's a low profile seat with 2 inches of suspension. Probably my favorite so far.

Here is another fav but I would like it to have some suspension.

Are military Hummer Seats same as LMTV in any way shape or form. There is some local for sale.. they look more high back but the pics he sent are really bad.

Thanks in advance.

I ordered a Prime Seating 400 LH mid-back air seat. Repair parts are available, if needed.

The air ride cab is nice, but the lumbar support and ergonomics of the military seats are quite lacking. The foam is dead in my driver seat. It is like riding on a wood seat.

How are you going to make it fit ? Can't find the LoPro specs.

I used some basic side bolstered bucket seats I bought for like $160.00 each. My 80 year old mom rides in my truck and we just did a 1200 mile Off-road trip. 1800 total with highway mileage. she says its a Cadillac! You can see on her face that she was happy!

In an LMTV I believe its better to sit up about 6 inches above the stock height. I'm 6'2 and I feel great with the AH6 Little Bird seats that ALHarvey as for sale. It makes it better in a stock seat to be up higher. Also moving it back some would help as well.

Not air ride, but I picked up a pair of Honda Civic SI bucket seats. Some grinding to remove the old SI seat mounts, some creative bracketry, and they're mounted in my M1081. There's a little interference fit between the engine bump and the cab reinforcement, but nothing major. So much more comfortable, and they really hold your butt in place.

It has already been done by someone else with the 200 series. Probably do some custom work on the brackets. No big deal.
