New Seats???

what is the best option for replacing the seats in these trucks mostly i want the front ones replaced the metal bar is digging into my hip on long trips i have added foam under the stock foam but it is still uncomfortable i have looked at custom seats but they seem a little out of the price range i was looking for something that looked somewhat stock while being much more comfortable

thanks in advance for any help

Try contacting an upolstery shop.
They might be able to help.

When you added the foam did you push the foam around the metal supports? In the posts I found they said to cut the foam just big enough to cover the existing foam and around the springs. I found that if you push it in (left and right) over the metal sides it helps a lot.

That is the one I used. The first time I did it I cut the padding like the picture. The sides still hurt my legs. The second time I cut the foam wider and tucked it in the sides. If you look at picture 5 you will see the metal. Try pushing the foam in above that. More padding between legs and the metal sides. It helped my issue.
