    Hello, since I weigh under 150lbs, typical air-ride seats, even adjustable ones on the setting with the most give, barely register my presence there. Do any of my fellow drivers know which type (brand/model) of seat I can buy & put in a truck that will be the most bouncy? I prefer a lot of give in an air-ride seat. Thanks!

    Give Seat Specialists a call. They should be able to fix you up.

    Nope. I tried that. Twice. Dead ends as sales people have no idea the answer to this question. I need advice from drivers who have actually used air ride seats. Even if its just to complain about what type of seats were "too" bouncy. That is what would help me. I will call the sales departments AFTER I know what I want. Never in all my life have sales people proven the ones to help me figure out what is best for me. They help us find what is best for them. Anyway, anyone ever had a seat that was not stiff enough? As much as I love driving a semi I'm about ready to get an old cushy car & do food delivery with it. Surely someone can answer this without deferring to sales people.

    Ya know, fella, I don't make recommendations based upon hearsay. I have personally done business with Dave at SS and can tell you unequivocally that he's a straight shooter. Sounds to me you've yet to have had the pleasure of dealing with a professional in your short life.

    Good luck.

    Best thing I can recommend is to visit a sizable dealership and check their seat selection.

    It's been my experience that the cheaper seats with fabric are the most firm seats.

    Maybe Bliss didn't have the good fortune to speak with Dave, but rather a couple of Dave's sales people?

    Gotcha! I read this quote from the OP assuming he/ she was referring to SS.
