Afternoon all. Help me raise my driver seat! I posted a short intro in the General thread. Briefly, I just bought a used 2005 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Full Bed 4WD Hemi 5.7. I have been away from truck ownership many years. I am just starting getting to know my truck and researching the best ways to outfit for my needs.
The driver seat in this particular truck does not have a seat-height adjuster. Phone books aren't as handy as they used to be when I was younger. I am seeking recommendations to site higher as I drive.
If I sit in the seat to support my back, my legs dangle already. I am hoping to find a separate solution for resting my feet or at least my left foot. Meantime, for safety, I would like to sit a bit higher. I once owned a 2003 Dodge Conversion Van in which the seat (as-is) was great to sit high and see over the vehicle front nicely.
Meanwhile I am considering creating a humor video about being fairly short and owning of these modern higher-up trucks. My previous truck was a Chevy S-10, in the late 90's / early 2000s. I like the little pick-em-up trucks but I needed the future ability to haul / tow.
Its a nice truck, looks nearly new. A little longer than the van I had. My experience driving the van comes in handy now. I am able to turn the truck around in my driveway. I still have much to re-familiarize myself in having a truck.
Thanks for any input.
