    Idk how well they will fit but my buddy has a 2000 sierra with a 3 piece split bench seat. Its comfortable and has adjustable lumbar support. Maybe you could get the two outside seats and leave out the center section

    I have these seats:

    http://www.andysautosport.com/toyot...ts/racing_seats/cipher_auto/ciph22000005.html

    [​IMG]

    The seats themselves are awesome. They simply surround me perfectly and the memory foam is very comfortable. No aches or pains even on long drives. If these are in your budget, I highly recommend the seats. :)

    However, I will say that the seat brackets were a bit of a pain. :mad: They took forever to receive and they needed modification when I received them.

    Basically, from what I gathered, the process works like this:
    1. You buy the seats and brackets from Andys
    2. Cipher gets the order and ships out the seats... You get those in about a week.
    3. Cipher orders the brackets from Wedge Engineering. This took another 2 months and when they came they didn't have the mounting holes in them (which should be threaded).

    I contacted Andys about the problem and they're extremely helpful in trying to resolve the problem. Cipher Auto was supposed to reimburse some of the bracket cost but they never did. I even called Wedge Engineering and they said that it was Ciphers fault because they were supposed to take care of the mounting holes for their seats. I ended up having to buy a special drill bit and mounting bolts and nuts to make it work (about $40). Because the process took sooooo long, I ended up eating their failure and took the loss. Even though like the seats, I wouldn't buy from Cipher again because of this experience. :(

    this makes me sad. Was really eyeballing them. Might just suck up the cost and get some Recaros.

    Yeah, its bitter-sweet for me because outside of the bracket fiasco, I absolutely love the seats.

    Hey TomTom, are they OME sport shocks you've got there? how do you like them? I have a winch bar and need to upgrade my front shocks.. you have the stiffer front springs too?

    OME 882s are the springs I have (500lb rate, 395mm height). I think they are the original nitrocharger shocks but not sure. I like them with the Elite bumper (110lb) but considering going to a custom set of Icon coilovers when I add the BudBuilt skids and winch. Will wait and see how the front end feels after adding that weight (another 110lb+).
