I must have been looking at another then ,and the rails were extra . What about checking truck wreckers for a KAB air ride maybe a bit big though probably .

U have 4 choices in life :U can like it; lump it; love it or shove it, take your pick and stick to it !
I had a KAB 305 on my troopy, would not recommend them to anyone.
They are about 3" too high so your head is on the roof to start with.
You then adjust it to suit your weight, that gives about 3" of travel,
now remember head is already on the roof ouch ouch ouch.
Ended up using small g clamps to hold it shut, I welded it to a
stool and use it my shed to sit on lol,
I see the doctor tomorrow so hopefully he can get the ball rolling
I'll get a price for the suspension seat soon.
Plus the KAB 305 looks like it belongs on a back hoe very agricultural

Yeah used KAB in trucks and used to lock them down on the bad dirt roads because you were on the way down as the truck was on the way up no fun in that especially with a triple .The other thought I had was variable rate springs ; I,m interested in this as the back is getting a bit frail and I,ve given it a flogging over the years so post all your findings for us to follow if you will .

first tip is remove your wallet on long drives lol
Already have the Strato , but if you want to try some extra rubber
where the seat bolts to the floor will make a huge difference

dads tractor (8th April 2015)
Wheels are in motion now its a waiting game ,with my insurance co. being what they are I dont expect
an answer before the grand final at the earliest, so hopefully a suspension seat from Strato or air bags all round
who know they may do both, but that would make me laugh.
DT have you had a chance to fit the rubber yet?

For those thinking of replacing their OE seat with the Strato LTSS suspension seat.
The total cost will be $2368.44, that includes RH arm rest and a lumber pump.
Fitting cost is $150 ,so not a cheap exercise, but well worth it IMO.
Then again Im not paying

You don't think a suspension seat would throw you around a bit much going through some rough stuff? I imagine you'd hit your head on the roof a fair bit!
If they are a high quality seat and are set up correctly once installed then they shouldnt bounce you aroundOriginally Posted by Winnie
