Angry Seat Belt length

Did the seat cushion foam upgrade and now my seat belt is so tight that I can barely get it fastened
Is there a way to lengthen the belt or can I get a longer belt from Dodge or aftermarket
Have to do something because this is driving me crazy!!

After just spending 10 painful hours in my seat, you're certainly got my attention on this... do tell!!

P/O was around 300lbs, so my seat is worn plum out.

The seat cushion upgrade is really simple...4 bolts to take the bottom of the seat off, couple of spring type clamps to remove the bottom springs and wire support, add about 2" of foam padding ( I used 1/2" heavy carpet pad glued together to get to 2'"), install a piece of old carpet back side against the wires, re-hook the spring clamps and re- install the seat! Takes about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to do the entire job!
Man....what a difference it has made in my comfort on long trips

I had to pick up two extensions for the family car for when we haul a larger family member. They were free, ask your new truck dealer. They're dealer stock item only and probably only available in black. Equal protection for the masses; no matter the race, creed, gender, religion, size, etc. Don't want to imply that it's an extra cost option, else might be a lawsuit I was told. The only decision I had to make was if we needed the 9" or the 15" extensions. Seriously!
