Does anyone know of a simple way to get the drivers seat to sit a little lower?

Would love to this, too. I'm 6'3", and while I fit, I still have to crank my neck to the side or forward to see stop lights.

However, I'm pretty sure we can't lower it anymore than stock without cutting brackets/putting it directly on the floor (losing ability to adjust). I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

The one complaint I constantly made on my owner survey was the non height adjustability of the drivers seat. I guess all Ram drivers are the same height. :flipthebird:

Bolt in some power seats, you can find a cheap bighorn seat somewhere.

I thought some have found aftermarket brackets to lower the seat. Didn't pay enough attn to give more details since at 5' 9" I need more seat height. Always get power seats for that reason.

If i buy a power seat for a 2015 or up and bolt it in are the power connections already there. I looked under my seat and there are some connections that are not plugged into anything.

Since I am 6' 8" tall, I will be watching this thread with interest. My only complaint coming from a Ford Super Duty is the interior of the Ram is a little cramped in comparison.

At 6'8" it would be easier to just remove the front seat and sit in the back seat to drive. I am only 5'11" and I have the seat down as low as it goes and almost all the way back.

the only stock option as of yet is to get the bucket seats (Laramie or sport seats) i have the power seats in my SLT and theirs a huge difference in height and adjust-ability between the SLT and my Laramie.

Are they making the newer models drivers seat smaller or something? Cause I'm 6'7" 260# and I fit perfectly in my old girl with the 8 way seat.

It really depends on your leg vs. torso height. I am 6'2", and have my motorized seat all the way back. I have more leg room in my A4 Audi. I have longer legs and a shorter torso, but if you have a larger torso there really isn't much one can do with the seat at it's lowest position.

Not smaller really, the cloth seats in the lower end models sit a bit higher and wont adjust as much or as low as the bucket seats in the sport / Laramie / limited etc...

Personally it annoys me a lot as my reg cab is an SLT, my laramie seats are way more comfortable and are positioned better.

I also find my 2011 sport electric seats rather low,
i'm 6 ft tall and there is not a lot (3 fingers) of headroom.

Can the cloth seats in the lower end newer models be replaced with the bucket seats in the sport / Laramie / limited etc...
