Why not save yourself a boat load of cash and just hit the local junk yards.
Why would I want to replace my worn out seats with someone elses worn out seats. I'd like a little mor comfort than what I have.

I know exactly what you're speaking of.
I have an '06 Ram 2500, and from my big a$$ sliding out of it, the cover had a hole in it, and the foam was shot.
I found a dealer that sells factory seat covers and the foam close to wholesale price on ebay. I actually purchased the wrong set, he e-mailed me asked for exact year and model, and got me the correct ones.
Do the seat foam while you're at it, it makes an unbelievable difference!
I did it myself, and it only took a few hours.
I can't find the exact sellers name at the moment, if I do, I'll let you know.
Wally.

Not all junk yard seats are worn out. I have found almost new ones there from newer trucks that are bolt ins. Dodge didn't change the interiors much in the last few years. It was a suggestion that might have saved you money. The seats in my 98 are original and still look like new. Sorry I even mentioned it.

Don't take my comment personal, I didn't mean to sound kurt. My point is I'd rather spend the extra coin on a new seat. I've looked at used seats and some have nice cloth however no matter how you cut it the foam is not the same as new. i'm looking for a firm seat in that in the next few uyears i'll be driving between the NW and Arizona so why no be comfortable.

I was thinking of seats out of a 2013 or 2014 that had been totaled by the insurance people.
Now that's a thought. I didn't think of that. I wonder if the mounting is the same?

A good upholstery shop can copy your stock "soft" cushions and make new ones out of a denser foam. They can also wrap the springs with carpet to firm it up some. Just my  .

It's not perfect.
It's not correct.
It's not yours!
