Air ride seats or frame under OEM seat?

The person who rides most in my passenger seat is requesting relief in the form of an air ride of some sort. Anyone done this by any manner? Replace the seat mounting frame with an air setup or changed the seat altogether? I have leather gray buckets.

Can't find my links off hand as I don't drive the '05 any more, but it is by far cheaper to retrofit air ride seats than it is to install an air ride suspension. If I can locate my old links I will post them. I think it was around $450 to retrofit the seats for air ride.
Here's one, but I'm not sure if it's the one I was going to get:

Thanks for the link

I think that is something even I could do with my old buzz box and some steel and their air ride system.
