    I know this isn't Bose related but I was able to order a low profile mount with my Knoedler as I've got giraffe legs. Maybe a low mount is available?

    If you find a good used Bose seat for sale snap it up. The new rebranded ones are pretty pricey

    Nice to see I’m not the only one with that problem. :confused:

    Although changing from a spring ride truck to an air ride truck seems to have cured it.

    Having used a Bose seat for a couple of years, I can say that it's more a niche product than anything else. Its great for local drivers in single screw daycabs bouncing up and down city streets all day, not so much if you're cruising the big roads on the highpay highway in a sleeper truck. Or if you were in the oilfield running lease roads or maybe have some type of back/hip medical issues it would be great for you. But for the vast majority of drivers, I'd say the Bose is probably overpriced and a good air ride seat will work just fine.

    I had the second generation of it. Used it for a year until I sold the truck. Good comfy seat, less vibration. But if your back is already sore it is useless. The company who built the seat is out of business and no longer answers emails nor honor warranty
