Folks,

Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake

buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats
are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'.

Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range

of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my

left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine
in my 2018 RAM quadCab.

But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due

to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.)

If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the
forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect
seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the 
fake 'bucket'.

I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the
height of the driver seat instead?  


Thanks
