I had the ISRI in my day cab and have the grammar kingman now.
I had the ISRI for 7-8 years. The lower cushion was just starting to break down and was developing a small tear. A great seat would buy it again.
I have a Gammer Kingman now. It was part of the deal i made when I bought this truck. It was a new takeout from a 579 Pete. It's very similar to the ISRI. It appears to be made as well. But I found the ISRI to be more comfortable.

I do see both sides to what everyone is saying when it comes to seat prices. Here's the deal for me. My truck is a 99. I'm still riding in the same factory seat that came in. The cloth still has no rips in it. Most guys have replaced seats 2-4 times by now. So really $1500-$2000 is what I realistically could have already spent. So that's why I don't mind dropped by that coin now. As far as cloth to leather, I have leather in my pickup and let me tell you, it's so much easier to clean if you get grease in the seat from working on stuff than cloth is. Also I finger print 40-80,000 pounds a week, so sometimes my back is hurting before I even drive for the day. I know I need to sit in different seats to make a decision, but the Isri & Grammer is hard to find sitting on a showroom floor somewhere. That's why I was curious about those 2. I sat in the minimizer and wasn't impressed for the price. It was the loaded up $1500 one too.

Its a wide seat. I would definitely check measurements before buying if that would cause you a problem.
I only posted that because its what I have and is a very comfortable seat and I thought it was reasonably priced compared to other seats with similar options.

I like the fact that the ISRI lowers all the way after you get out. The Grammer stays the same height.
The more I think about if I was to buy another seat it'd be an ISRI. It fits me better.
I don't think you will go wrong either way both are built very well. They both are very heavy compared to a National.LoJackDatHo Thanks this. -
