    When I drive the truck on the street I only use it as a 4 point. When I get offroad I use the 5th point

    Mine will only be DD'ed when I want to not as a must. Not going to keep stock belts up front. Possibly in back seat as I'm trying to leave te bench seat in for child seat anchors, for now. So figured pair stock belts up with the crow lap belts, or buy some 4 points down the road.

    Anyone know of anywhere that is offering deals on padded 5 points. Or good place to order from, or just hit the ususal poly, sdhq, orw, etc. New of course. I really like those pro armors lol hmm decisions...

    You are not missing anything. My buddy designed them when he worked there. He is a truck guy. They just targeted them to the biggest market.

    Like I said I've been running them for 2 seasons

    I love everything about them till about 8 hours. The pad under my ass just isn't thick enough and it start to hurt after a few day long trip. I'm having new pads made for each seat. Was super cheap to have made and I knew I'd probably have to do that for how long of trips I do.

    After 3 years without it I finally have a windshield washer back. Had this universal setup sitting on my shelf for way too long.

    Ok on this subject what brand/model seats is everyone using or like? I know the real way to tell is to sit in them. I sat in the prp standard seat and liked them, just need the taller version, I also say in some of the othe versions they had out at the expo and didn't like how they squeezed my shoulder together. And I'm not a big guy really. Sat in Jordan's corbeaus up at the shop and they felt good, a smidge tight in the shoulders again but not to bad. I put long days in the seat usually so need the comfort of a good seat...

    First thing you need to decide is suspension vs non suspension

    Yes
    One thing I learned about the Corbeaus is to pay very close attention to the width. As you mentioned they can fit too tight in the shoulders which is not comfortable on long trips. The narrow shoulder area makes you hunch your back. I wish I would have gone with the +1" wider version when I got mine and I'm only 5-9 buck 65.

    Well then it's corbeau and deal will some small issues or spend 3 times as much for a Sparco. There are really no other options.
