    Hey guys i have a question?
    I am looking for a new seat for in the truck and my previous seat is a legacy silver seat... it is not a great seat for me.. i found out it is not a highback rest seat but a Mid and it is so wobbly in the suspension that i'm not sitting straight up when the air suspension is filled.
    So does anyone has a recommendation of a seat.. with a highback rest for me as a 6.5ft person.

    I'am looking into this one already Wide Ride Core

    Hope to get some experienced input here

    I have this one by legacy. Is yours like this?
    I absolutely love mine compared to stock. And I’m 6’2 and the headrest is taller for like 6’5 guys
    I’ll drive 800+miles a day and lower back or tail bone won’t be sore

    Yes i had that seat but there are 2 variations.. the mid and the high back.. i think the legacy gold with highback would be i think a great choice? but i dont like the suspension strength of it..

    The legacy gold highback is still on my list yess.. thanks for your experience!

    Years ago, I knew drivers that sat on a wheel barrow inner tube and wired the seat adjustment open to get some for and aft movement. We've come a long way in seats, dear.

    my suggestion is to go to a truck dealer that has a bunch of different seats on display and sit in them, that's how i picked out my seat.

    I knew a guy that sat on a milk crate for awhile. Inner tube sounds a lot more comfortable, lol.

    My girlfriend used to ride on a bucket when her dad drove back in the day.

    He had a seat though.

    I like my bostrom wide glide. Comfy, folding arm rests and a back cycler. The only thing I could think of wanting more would be air flow through the seat.

    Or go to the I-80 truck stop or the Petro in Joplin.
