    Low tide seat fixes that problem. I put a couple in my Truck. Too Low!! Had to use 2” steel square tube as a spacer. Got it “ just right”. Buying new seats again soon. My legs are too short for standard seats. I have to choose wisely. Once they’re bought, I’m stuck with them. Usually takes a while of running to tell how it affects my back. Same with a mattress. It can feel great at first, takes a week to really know. I’m looking at Legacy Silver seats. $700-$800. Seems hard to beat. Open to suggestions. Definitely not getting a minimizer. Only thing it minimizes is the bank account. Lol Most important for me is good Lumbar support. I like to set it at the max, even to the point of being painfull. Especially if it’s sore from working around the house.My back gets aligned that way, when I get out and walk, afterwards, I feel young again. It’s weird, but works for me.

    OK, I got off on a tangent. But any suggestions on what seat to buy and where? All input appreciated.

    . Maybe as an alternative revenue stream I would gladly pay to hear a recording of the phone conversation the next time you’re offered a load to this place.

    That’s kind of been my opinion so far. I’ll have to check if they make a low rider. Regular one should be good enough. Just have to avoid bottoming our. That’s done damage to my back in the past. My Lumbars gone on my current seat. Last time that happened, my back was out, I didn’t even realize the lumbar was shot. Ended up getting a disc removed. 21 yrs later, still have a couple ruptured discs. I’ve learned all the tricks to manage. Right seat is probably the most important. I’m Lucky, Driving actually helps my back with good Lumbar support. I often go back to work, in pain, can’t walk straight. After a few hours in the seat, it’s like I’ve had a Chiropractic adjustment. Go figure. I’m Lucky.

    So now my wife’s all rested up, and making plans. I’m finally rested up good myself. I like it better when she’s too tired, On the Truck, she has to do what I say. Lol. I tell her, I know you like to be in charge, But “ I’m the Boss of this Truck” Lol. Now I’m in her territory. Now She’s barking orders. Take a shower! we’re going to the bank!, Walmart, you still have to get the gutter off the power line!! Put the plate on the Jeep!! Ok Honey!! Lol.

    Wow! Good prices. Nationals made in Tennessee. I gave a Mom and Son a jump start in Georgia not long ago. They were stranded with his baby. They both worked at National. They gave me suggestions and his phone# for a discount. Lost the # ofcourse. Another concern is the width. My Truck came with Leather” Big Daddy” Seats. I bought narrow seats, and have them centered with the steering wheel now. Pet peeve of mine on Freightliners. Offset seat/steering wheel.Lousy right leg room also. Makes it worse. The way I have the seats now, there’s more room between them, we need all the room we can get. Lol

    I might do my floor and seats this week. Just don’t want it to turn into too much downtime.
