I was going to get katzkin leather seats in my truck, but i would like to replace my seat with the newer ram style with a folding armrest. Does anyone know if the crew rear seat will fit in my quad cab and actually have leg room in the back?

I have a Quad Cab myself and thought about doing the same thing until I saw a Quad Cab truck with a Crew Cab rear seat. I am 6'2" and I would have to move my front seat way too far forward to make it practical for anybody to ever use the back if I installed the Crew Cab rear seat. I had thought about trying to possibly take a Crew Cab seat apart and used the back to get the fold down armrest and use the Quad Cab bottom but since I've already custom upholstered my seats I don't want to go through the expense of purchasing new seat upholstery to match the front.

They do make the two piece back seat for the Quad Cab which is what I put in my truck but The Quad Cab did not come with the fold out armrest/cupholder.

I think you could use just the back of the crew cab seat which is where the armrest is, but I don't know if or how you could order the seat covers since the seat would now be a mix of two different patterns.

Does anyone have pics of crew rear seats in a quad cab? Or taken measurements to see how much difference there is between the two?

This is my Ram 1500 2017 QuadCab with rear seat of CrewCab.

Use the bracket of the QuadCab with Seat of the CrewCab.

2 in 1 for tilt the seat up and down !

I have one in the back of mine also,I also swapped the brackets.Problem is the back of the seat sits to straight so you have to lose the head rests for someone to sit there and there is zero
lumbar support,I bought the lumbar cushions to help.

So removing the headrests helps then?
