So my 06 had a flat driver seat. You could feel the frame on the left side. The foam was torn in that spot. Working at the dealer I get parts 10% over cost. I put a new oem cushion in and now it's like the left is super tall. It's firm and the bolster sits high like it should but the right now seems to sit low and I feel the frame slightly like I'm leaning right. Today a 09 2500 came in and that seat bolsters were even left to right and it is firm like a 2018 Laramie seat. It does have aftermarket leather tho but that shouldn't help much. Is there a aftermarket seat cushion work more support than oem? I found some upgraded ones at Geno's garage

Dumb question but is the cushion higher in the back or are all 4 sides even ? Could it be installed wrong position ? Just a thought ! Not sure if the back is a bit taller then front or sides

Front to back, back is lower by only a little. Seemed to have a slight incline toward the rear. I'm having a hard time getting the right side Velcro to reattach. Left is higher than right. Even uninstalled it's thicker maybe because it's the high traffic spot. Curious if the springs are worn

I put a new seat cushion foam in my 06 ram 2500 and it fit perfect. Maybe the frame is bent or sagging.

Will the 02-05 frame fit? Local yards only have trucks up to 05. New frames are discontinued. I could pay $300 to have one of the 24 remaining frames shipped from a dealer in SC

Fixed it. There's a section of foam that's got a box around it on the left front. You remove that section for power seat switches. Now it sits flat left to right. Also a note for anyone replacing foam, I had to hot glue the Velcro back on. Seems the factory adhesive is weak. It was coming up and I peeled the rest right off. Now my seat fabric stays down like it should too

Where would one purchase a replacement cushion? Besides stealership?

Amazon had some aftermarket replacement foam seat cushions but they aren`t much cheaper then the dealer.
BTW, when removing the cover and you want to save the cushion velcro from tearing put your hand under the cover and hold the velcro down so when you pull it apart it doesn`t tear it off the foam. The attachmant is as only as strong as the foam it is glued to.

Used Geno's garage for my driver's side when I replaced my leather in the whole truck. Totally worth it for $125.
