I have 92 4x4 5-spd Reg. cab. Heres my problem, I love my truck, It's black, with shiny Alcoas, and such. But the **** thing rides like a tank, I'm running narrow 30&quot; tires, and the seat is not what I'd call comfortable. Q is would running wider 33&quot; tires help any, and Is there any fix for the seat?<br>Any help would be appreciated.<br>J

They'll probably help some and maybe som Ranch 9000's. But just remember you bought a TRUCK that'll get the job done. ;)

Is there any fix for the seat?<br><br>Well, how about a nice set of Capitans chairs from the local U Pick ? Find a Conversion van and help your self to instant comfort ! Just think, you could find heated leather , power adjustments ------ Dont forget seat belts .<br>

Is there any fix for the seat ?<br>*************************<br><br>How bout a big rig air seat...kidding<br>You could check and upostery shop see if they could rebuild your seat for comfort<br>Or respring your truck with less leafs then a good grade shock

Gotta love solid front axles with leaf springs! My kidneys will attest to this after 17 years of that. not much for comfort, but you can hang a 9' plow off the front with little or no droop ;D Try going with new springs with thinner leaves and more leaves, this will give the suspension a little more flex,hence maybe a better ride?

i have a first gen also with 31/10.5/16's adn it still rides like a log wagon.. a buddy has put a skyjacker 2.5 lift on his and helped the ride out a great deal.. going to do the same when money permits .. try this site for prices and ideas.. good luck Ace http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/dodge.htm

I run 33 x 12.5 x 16.5 BFG mud terrains on mine. They do seem to ride a little better than the stockers, but not a huge difference. I'd suggest some nice factory bucket seats like some of the club cabs had. Mine has these and I love 'em.<br><br>Like redleg said, don't forget you have a real truck, not a wimpy 1/2 ton, IFS'd wanna be. These were the last of the real trucks made. Dana 60, 70, leaf springs and NP205 case plus Cummins power. What more could a guy want? Maybe a better ride, I guess. ;D

When they brake, they are more expensive to fix! I had a couple for a long time. They did what I needed and I enjoyed them, but now I need a truck, so I put up with the ride. It's also nice because big SUV's aren't so inclined to push me around! ;)

mine's rough too, and the rear routinely leaves the ground on a big bump, but man it's smooth with 10,000lbs hangin off the back :D

My .02 is try not to put high back seats into a regular cab truck. I hated mine. If your're backing out of angle parking or just doing a shoulder check (like you did on your drivers test remember? ;)) they are a real pain. But the big truck air ride isn't such a dumb idea. Check the wreckers, they'll have some nice ones. Some logistics to work out but if your thinking about a seat swap anyway. I'm gonna do it to mine :)

Any big truck dealer can sell you low profile air ride seats that will do what you want. Also get the fore/aft slide, it helps a lot.

Yep my 92 is a kidney beater but I can hang my 31ft Prowler travel trailer on it with out the equalizer bars and it won't sag an inch. But get on a slab concrete freeway and it'll hurt ya. :'( :'( <br><br> JJ
