Good Morning,
Hope everyone is having a good weekend....

I just bought a new 22 RAM 1500 BigHorn and love it however it comes with a cloth interior and I wanted leather So, I bought leather and swapped the finish. It looks AWESOME!!

Here's my issue....
If you look at these pics, you can see the rear seat on the drivers side doesn’t sit flush with the other portion of the 60/40 Bench. Is there any chance that the seat actually came that way and I just didn’t notice before I pulled them out? Everything does line up on the floor correctly (as shown).

I've tried looking online for similar results and did come across this picture of a wrecked 1500 where they were trying to part it out. If you look, that seat looks like mine. I'm just showing this photo for reference.

ANY Input would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks very much :)

There is something stopping that seat from sitting all the way down. It could be something as simple as the carpeting on the bottom of the seat is slightly out of place an is sitting one of the stops.

I dont have an answer for the seat..maybe misaligned when reinstalled, but I would like to know where you bought seat covers. In my truck shopping I am looking for a laramie but may have to settle for lower trim level due to scarce inventory so being able to add leather is something i would need to do after purchase.
thanx

I had the dealer install Katzkin leather covers in my 19 Lonestar (Bighorn) as part of the purchase agreement. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Lol, glad ya figured it out! I was at a loss because I've never had that happen and I've been doing my different Ram trucks since 2006. Those came out pretty much the same as mine have. I lucked out on my last job and just swapped in the full seat package. Made life easy that way. [;)]
