    BOSTROM!!!!

    I have an Elite 80 now and I hate it. I too am 6'2" and the lower cushion does not extend out far enough, also it is very firm and makes your ### go numb after a hour or two. Also the arm rests do not adjust evenly. My right one won't go as high as my left one and it drives me crazy. I will be moving it to the pass side very soon and getting a Wide Ride LO HD very soon!!

    I had a legacy silver leather seat in my last truck & it rode great.
    A very good seat for the money.

    I have the Sears elite 80 and love it. I'm 6'3" and the bottom comes all most to the bend of my knees. When you first get one it may take a week or so to figure out how to make it fit you. A buddy of mine drove my truck and with in a month bought 2 for his truck. BlackW900 also just got 2 for his truck.

    I have had mine for almost 2 years now and it does not come close to the bend in my knee's. Maybe I got an old model??

    Have been looking into replacing a seat as well. The Elite 80 has a better warranty than Legacy, but would have to think after a year or so any mfg is going to say it is yours & deal with it.

    Looked into Isringhausen, couldn't get an answer out of anybody & their distributor list goes towards those who sell bull dozer or bus seats.

    My local KW dealer is pricing out the Legacy at about $100 cheaper than the Elite 80. Going to go look at both of those this week.

    Have found a large difference in pricing, so definitely worth shopping around.

    Junk!

    I just took a Legacy Silver out of my truck! Words cannot express how awful that seat was. It Squeaked, It was uncomfortable and was just a peice of #### in general...I will NEVER....Repeat, NEVER put a Seats Inc. seat in my truck again!

    Yes I did and I LOVE these seats!
    I'm 6'2" and the Elites are "just right".

    Probably because it's a WAY BETTER SEAT!:yes2557:


    If you by the Legacy Silver, Save the $100....You'll need it to pay the chiropractor!
