Default Brutal 3rd Gen Seats Fix

I don't know if this has been posted before but here is what I am going to do as soon as we have a nice day outside.
Others that have done this say it works very well.

3rd Generation Dodge Front Seat Thin Padding Fix

If this works my legs and back will be so happy...

My seats move in all directions too and they are terribly uncomfortable after a couple hours behind the wheel.

well i haven't done any really long driving with this truck, mostly to the beach and such, and thats not too bad. i guess i am use to my work truck (07 chevy 2500 gasser) and thats a single cab, and that is the worst seat i have ever been in. sometimes i am in that thing for 10-12 hrs driving a day and boy my back and legs are killin me. so i think its a blessin to get in my dodge and stretch out a little. by the way, the chevy might be new, but its the cheapo model and it is way to heavy most of the time

If you think the third gen seats are bad - you should try the second gen seats...

Good writeup.

Well I do know some people like their seats and some don't so hopefully this will us that don't. The way it is now at the end of a long haul I am practically crippled for a day or two. So I can't wait to try this trick...
