    Ditch the seat and use an apple crate.

    Try running with all the air out of your seat. I have been riding this way for years ( even before it was cool ). You ride with the suspension of the truck, NOT some little air bags in a seat.

    I got the same problem- they put a Bostrom pos in my truck and my back starts hurting after a few hours. The back of the seat doesn't go back far enough and the ridge in the middle of the seat back sticks out too far and does not adjust. I bungeed a pillow to the seatback with the soft bungees, and it helps a little.

    I wish these new cascadia seats went low enough to give me some room under my legs. It feels like im sitting on top of the truck and a midget is pushing on my back. I like a flat back seat and there is way too much lumbar in these seats.

    Have ridden on 2 Bostrom seat's, 1 cheapo & other was midgrade. Hated them both equally. Maybe the high $ Bostroms are better, but i doubt it. Most of the cushion's are too small to fully cover truck seat and naturally will cutoff leg circulation quicker.

    Reminds me of my last truck. Pretty sure all that was left for a cushion was plywood.
