    Welcome to TW!

    and seats. idk do you have the TRD or no? maybe sit in a TRD and see if you like those seats, and if so swap them.

    suspension, do you want to lift or stay at the same hight?

    What year and package is your truck? I've got a 2012 with TRD seats and this active head restraint system is preventing me from getting comfortable. The headrest is connected to a lower lumbar bracket and its uncomfortable. I recently had a shop install extra padding in the seat and lower back. Helped some. Give us more detail, I'm curious as to what your concern is.

    My truck is a 2003 extra cab, I have had this truck since new and I am looking for a comfortable ride on and off road. I installed airbags to haul a camper and I swear the ride has never been the same( even when bags are empty). After long trips I am stiff and sore, it's even worse when I am on logging roads. I no longer own the camper, but I find the airbags very handy with your home renos.I feel that new seats are a must...I have never been happy with them from the day I took the truck home. Thinking about suspension seats, it has my intention from the start to turn this vehicle into a bush truck.
    I have no mechanical skills or understanding but I want to soften suspension- is this possible with after market shocks or other parts?
    Thank you for your responses- never been involved with any forums and I'm impressed with any response.
    Cheers
