How many of you have air ride seats for no reason

I ride on the floor and always have because I don’t like bouncing up and down all day.

 

20 yrs from now you're going to wish you had driven w all aspects of the seat properly adjusted instead of on the floor locked in place imho.

 

I'm 6'5. Riding on the floor is the most comfortable for me. At least in this 389. My 387 I rode with just enough air to keep me.from.feeling the cab sway.

 

I don’t know, I’ve been at it for 22 years so far, with 9 spent pulling flatbed, and not a back issue yet. Maybe it’s because I’m active in my off time. But there’s no way I’d be comfortable with air in the seat. I like having my knees elevated.

 

Almost 20 years for me and I still drive on the ground. Us tall people get thrown in to the roof really easy.

And I drove a truck that had a bench seat. Pickup truck.

 

Whatever is comfortable to you is how you're going to roll.
I remember before we even had air ride, scissor spring type ride w vinyl..miserable.
Almost akin to hearing loss, where once it's gone it doesn't come back, back problems appear after years nee decades of posture issues/abuse.
It may work for you now and maybe all thru your career but the same reason developers and manufacturers have such complex air seating nowadays is because of crippling back problems suffered by drivers past.
I think a seat properly adjusted offers the action and support to minimize the risk of damage for the long haul..pun intended.
I'd bet money a ergonomic "expert" or chiropractor would recommend the same.
That said we have many drivers doing the low rider thing looking cool on the stool.

 

This. Ive lived with two herniated disks since age 24. Im not slamming my head off the roof or my arse into the floor because some know nothing likes to mind other people’s business. Besides, even when it’s got minimal air in it, it’s still plenty high.

Truth be known, I change the seat position throughout the day. Sometimes I’m a pimp Gangsta sometimes I’m a geek with driving gloves and and aired up seat. Same guy. Imagine that

 

My wallet causes me more back pain (and numbness in my feet) than no air does. The wife thought air would be comfy at first, too. That lasted a week. Now she's got her seat fully deflated, too.

 

Carry your wallet in your front pocket. I've carried mine there my whole life. Riding horses and such dont want to be sitting on a lump.. Same applies for the truck. You dont have that lump pressing on your hip causing your back to hurt. And you know if somebody tries to pick your pocket lol.
