Hi,
I have a 3.0 trooper duty and the front seats are like sitting on concrete blocks.
Any ideas on how to make them softer OR how much should I pay for citation front seats ?
Any info would be great.
Thanks,
Dave.

I guess that comfort in in the behind of the beholder. Seats feel different for each person. I would suggest that you do a sitting test of the different seats available for your model vehicle. I recently swapped seats in my 1986 Trooper with those in a 1989 Trooper. The ones from the 89 are much more comfortable and raised me up at least 6 to 8 cm. allowing me much more visibility. |

how many miles has your troop done , it could be that they're just flat from some heavyweight previous owner , is the passenger seat the same take it to a car trimmer to see if this is the case |

Hi
If you google parts gateway you will find numerous companies that will be able to supply you with another seat, Personaly I would go for one out of a citation or insignia as they do have more positions available to get the correct and most comfortable driving positionas they have up/down as well as forward/back.
Be careful that you get one from the same year as you own as the seat bellt coupling did change when they upgraded the trooper in the late 90's
Regards Jon |

Yea, I think it's an opinion thing...
I drive from Aberdeen to Telford / Shrewsbury in one hit, that's 450 miles, and I have to say, I feel totally fine when I arrive, very very comfortable seats.
