Spring Seat Adjustment

[Billy Bobbed]

I've had my truck for a year and a half now still trying to get my seat adjusted right.I have a few humps in the road on the way to and from work that makes me fell I'm going to eject out of the truck.I know were the the humps are and I hold the steering wheel to slow the jar.If I soften the spring I bottem out on the down then the fast ride up.I'm 215lbs I keep turning the tension now more and more trying to hit that happy medium,but dont want to break the spring.Have you found your happy medium spot.

Sounds like you need a new shock in the seat.

I was thinking the same thing put it doesnt keep bouncing after the hump.

Well to tell the truth, I've never got mine perfect either. Had a few bitten tongue incidents and a few dip spits on the windshield.

Another thing is when Im going around 20,25mph intown my tires are a little out of balance,my seat gets a work out.

oh I had to chime in and laugh with you, not at you. I actually felt the shock go out on a 800 mile trip in my deuce. I thought my aft was going to hit my forehead. If you find a better fix than mine (large pillow) let me know.

I replaced the shock when I recovered to seat. It a monroe part and was about 55$ buck. You can search here for the part #. I am glad I replaced it.

Eat more burger = ass gets bigger = seatrides nicer when more tension is applied

Where is your front tires air pressure set at? If you have them at 50 PSI it could explain why you are hitting the roof on the bumps....I run my fronts at 40 rears at 30 and I am running with 4000 payload all the time. I adjusted this to keep the tires wearing evenly and they have been wearing very nicely.

I got a new shock from George at White Owl and it solved the problem.

Im going to look into a new shock.Can you replace the shock with the seat still in the truck.Does anyone know what the shock number is.
