    I drive a 99 379 with an unusually high seat. Yes I am one of those guys that like to ride around on the floor without any air in the seat. The seat it's self is comfortable I just wish there were a way I could make it so it goes down a little more. Hoping to get some tips.

    Other than letting the air out not a lot more you can do, maybe swap out to a low rider seat...

    Years ago my buddy said to pull the seat frame out of a International cabover and mount your seat on that frame...I never tried it but he claims it was cheaper than buying a low rider seat..

    4 state also sells a low profile base that you can put your existing seat on. Made by national seating. The factory national seats in my 99 bolted right to the new base, but took a little fab work to mount to the floor, as the holes didn't line up properly.

    Maybe in my previous post I should have posted "base" instead of "frame"..

    I knew what I wanted to post just couldn't quite get it into words !! LOL
