Default Seat Swap - outside the box

Had a thought while I was bored at work. Rather than trying to soften up the truck more and more, has anyone tried to use spring loaded or air bag seats from a tractor trailer? Being that our trucks ride rough, a tractor trailer seat seems like a good idea and probably simple fab work.

My only concern is the height of these seats when installed in our trucks.

Northern tool has an air ride seat setup that will fit the 1st gens, thats something I have been wanting to do for awhile. I don't have my catalog handy but when I get to it I will post the part #.
