Needless to say me and my back are pretty stoked at the moment.

Unbolt stock seat.
Bolt in new seat base and reuse the slide track.
Hook the seat bases up to an air compressor and you're golden with a nice smooth ride.
Do you loose for/aft adjustability?

Pat, you reuse the adjustment rails that are attached to the seat. I went over to the shop that ordered the air ride seat base for us and looked at it today it's a pretty easy to do. Undo four bolts and pull off the factory seat base and bolt it to the new one.

I haven't been up M95 further than Channing lately so I don't know. Most of what I've been on have been back roads in Marquette County and the road I drive going to and from Heather's place is horrid. There's one bump on 426 that I hit at 55 and it was so violent it knocked my cell phone cradle off the dash.

I've had that happen before with my GPS. I can only imagine what that bump felt like in a 1 ton.
