Just wondering if anyone has ever put one of those comfy bus driver type seats that have a suspension system built into it. I've seen some in big rigs but I was thinking that they would be too large for the blazer. I saw a seat that looked like it would work and fit perfectly but unfortunately it's still attached to the shuttle bus at DFW airport. If you have pics of your setup I would love to see it!
 
I honestly don't think you will have enough headroom for an air suspension seat to work properly, there is one in the truck i drive for work ,but i usually "sit in the basement" as they say, no air, i don't like sitting that high, and besides, it takes the "feel of the road" away from the drive.:D
 
i guess there is a point when too high is bad, but we sit low in blazers...too low for running full doors if you ask me. ive thought about lifting my seat an inch or 2 to gain better visibility all the way around the truck.
 
The height is definately an issue for me. I thought the same thing- i'd ride around bumping my head all the time. Oh well, if I ever come across a low profile seat like this, i'll snag it up and try it out.
 
The one in my cat 980G loader would probably work if you didnt inflate it all the way. I thought about doing it too. Well actually I originally thought thats what an offroad suspension seat was when I first started wheeling lol. But I sure wanted one :D
 
Is that one of the small, bobcat style loaders?
