Ditto that. I got a set/kit for around $750 two years ago, took me six months to work up enough gumption to do the installation, but it went smoothly per plans. Except for the clearance cut inside the battery box for the seat bolt- couldn’t read the number on the drawings and missed it by about a quarter inch.When you compare the investment in the commanders seats and their benefit to all of the other cubic dollar investments people put into these things yes, they are a good investment. The ride comfort is a world of difference better. It's comparable to going from bias ply tires to radials.
I didn’t like how far forward the backs were so I tilted them back to where they were comfortable to me then drilled new holes in the bottom of the brackets, about an inch forward of factory. Man I detest mechanical engineers who never have to actually use the stuff they designed.
What I did today:
Replaced the heavy alloy armor grille with the lighter one. More airflow I think. Sure looks less restrictive. Lighter, too, easier on my back lifting the hood.
Will likely put the armor one on the evil auction site.
