If you don't have at least one AR, forget about the seats.

If you have enough ARs, then the seats will be a good addition to your Jeep.

I got a set of Bestop seats and they work well for a DD and easy to moderate trail use.

Good Luck, L.M.

I second what wcjeep said. I too have the MasterCrafts, although not the best daily driver seat (constant in and out is tiring) but on road trips to Moab and days on the Trail they are the Cats Meow. I'm no spring chicken so I appreciate the comfort for my back. I suspect that Corbeau or PRP are equally comfortable.

Some seats have high sides that make the in/out a chore. Other full suspension seats have lower side bolsters. My Mastercrafts are very comfortable. I had some difficulty with the company when ordering the seats. The seats are great quality and very comfortable. Full suspension seats have no bottom. Most seats are built on a metal plate or frame. Full suspension seats absorb all of the energy. When your body runs out of energy to displace the seats return to their previous state. Most seats have cushion against steel. The steel is not forgiving.

My Jeep is not an everyday driver. Would never go back to factory style seats. I'd park the Jeep before driving it with factory style seats. I even had a full suspension child seat for my daughter.

I have the Baja XRS's. Absolutely love them.

First time I drove the Jeep after putting them in I thought I was driving a different Jeep, that's how good they are. They do have high side bolsters, but I just step on my rock rail and sit down into them instead of hitting the bolster each time I get in. Left foot on rail, grab the grab handle, step up onto rail, drop into seat.

They really wrap around you nicely, and when I go wheeling I can be in the Jeep 8 hours or more. No problem in these seats. And if it matters, I am a big guy (aka fat) and they fit my big butt just fine.

I also have the Baja RS they were expensive and I had buyers remorse till I got them installed and drove it a few days. Then a trip to the Grand Canyon from Denver made me a real believer. They do sit higher than stock seats but I adapted quickly. Again I suspect that Corbeau or PRP are equally awesome. I wouldn't have as much faith in the SmittyBilt's. And yes they are comfortable whether daily driving or on the trail.

Do suspension seats sag over time?
I had a mesh computer chair that sagged very quickly. I know the design and quality difference of the two. But the base idea is similar.

I have three herniated discs so I am looking for comfort and support. My old stock seats are not comfortable but they don't cause problems either. So I know anything will be an improvement.

I have owned the Corbeau Moabs for 3 years. Very, very nice. I did a 2k mile trip in August, fly fishing and camping between Phoenix and Denver and back, taking only back roads. At my age, the trip was a challenge, but the seats were very comfortable, and I'm sure that trip would have been more of a challenge without them. There are only two exceptions to my satisfaction with these seats: 1) They are almost too wide for my YJ. Seat belt binding is an issue. 2) I ordered neoprene covers, and in the Phoenix sun, they lasted only 3 seasons.

If I could do it again, I would probably go for the Bajas, despite the cost.

"They think they are doing the right thing".

They also think they know what's best for me.
They also think that if you're extra nice to a bully, that the bully will be nice back.

In my experience I know what's best for me better than anyone else.
In my experience, I know how to handle a bully.

Don't allow a mass murderer to be executed (Aurora Theater shooter), but it's OK to murder your unborn baby.

They may be sincere (I expect many of them are), so was Jim jones and David Koresh.

Good Luck, L.M.
