55-59 seat options

OrrieG - how comfortable are those seats now that you've had them a while?
Reason I ask is that i am a fairly big guy at 215 and didn't know if GM used thinner springs or foam since they're 3rd row. I know I need to find a truck with them and try them out but was just wondering what you thought.

Not on the road yet, but cannot be worse than the stock one that had 2x4s for support. They seem to have pretty dense memory foam, which is what my back likes, similar to our Honda in firmness. If I want or need something cushy down the line, its an easy fix.

Hello all, Another option might be an older seat. Its in a TF 55. It's 53 inches wide and with the 1 inch spacer that levels out the floor plus the electric set up it ends up about 12'' off the floor. Seat is out of a 79 Cadillac. I took off the head rests because they took up too much space in the rear window. You can only see about an inch of the seatback from the back. Very comfortable.
