    How differant are the Off Roads?

    The Sports are the absolute most uncomfortable I've ever had. If they are that big of a difference I will need to swap mine out.

    I believe (if I'm not mistaken) they are the same.

    That's the good thing. Everything still looks stock. There's a slight "puffiness" to the bottom of the driver's side, but you'd have to look for it (or sit on it) to notice. On the passenger side, Mark redid the padding on the bottom, but not as much, since my wife weighs about 100 pounds less than I do. She's had a few vertebra fused together, so he focused more on restructuring the backrest on her side of the truck.

    She hasn't had a chance to ride in it yet, but I think the improvement on the driver's side alone was worth the $300 I paid for both seats. Once we get back from our NC trip, we can go back and he'll modify them further, if needed.

    He literally built the support to fit our bodies.

    I lifted the rear of my seats up 3/8" by placing a washer underneath both rear mounts and it feels much better. It brings the angle up and keeps the seat from sloping down as much. I wouldn't go much higher because you will limit the threads on the stock bolts. 5 minute fix and it made a huge difference. I also added Clazzio seat covers and I'm much happier now.

    I think he lifted mine by about an inch. There's another thread on here showing a source for spacers. I'm definitely glad I've got my ImMrYo mirror bracket now!
