Installing air ride seats in 931

[roalcoal]

Thanks to floridianson for hooking me up with these great seats! I finished up my install today. I removed the battery box and moved the batteries to the tool box under the passenger side, made my bases out of 1/8 plate and 3" c channel everything worked out great

What kind of suspension do those seats have? Edit...Let me clarify. How much LIFT/Drop does these seats have?

They come out air up real close to what a springer seat is when you sit on the springer.
On the air ride you can use the yellow latch to raise or lower the seat about one and a half inches when it is aired up. So with the latch latched and the seat aired up it is around 13 inches to the base and when you unlock the latch it is around 15 inches high.. These should be able to go in Deuces. 809 or 939 series with a base built to fit your butt.

Ho much leg room do they have compared to the 939 springer seat?

It feels like its the same amount I am 6'-2" and I am very comfortable

I started my install yesterday! It was late so, no good pics. It's in my M923a2.
Same HEMTT seats as yours. I have one more, that I'm going to sell.

Nice job on the install!

Nice install. I want to do this as well but I want air ride seats with arm rests. Arm rests seem to add an inordinate amount of money to the purchase price. Oh well. This isn't a cheap hobby. Anyway, love the look and congrats on the seats.

How did you anchor the bases and seat belts?

My seatbelts hooked to the seat themselves. I used some 3/8in angle iron i has laying around for bolting the seat thru the cab and into it. I then welded some angle iron from the front angle to the rear angle iron.

I have the same seats and I am doing the same set up. Good to know I am not the only one thinking in.

Where did y'all hook up your seat air bladders? I found constant air underneath on the frame, but would like something in the cab.

If you have a 939 series there are three air fitting on the floor board next to the drivers seat. The fitting closest to the rear of the cab is a air supply.

Do you mean the parking brake? Did you tee off it?

Yes you can tee off the most rear fitting.

Thanks. I used the constant air from the front axle engagement. I bypassed the low switch engagement so only my dash switch locks it in.

Hooked into the extra port on the passengers side tank.
