You're doing it wrong
I like the idea dont know how well it will work with the head room in the truck

What he said. My last air ride seat was in my freight liner condo.......plenty of headroom. These are trucks, not cadillacs, although I did have an international pro star that rode damn nice.
What gave me the idea was a 10yo post in another forum that claimed to do it by using a National air seat base (made for a pickup, they have them for the 3500 too) and fitting up a factory oem seat to it. Figured I’d ask hear before experimenting. My back is getting old, figured I’d save the wear and tear on it as much as I can lol.

The rough ride was wearing on me so I did a little Googling and found a couple guys that had modified an air ride base to work with their stock seats.

Thanks for the reference! Exactly what I need to do. Just need to see if they have a bracket for the 2020 or something that will work.

So he modified the supplied brackets from the air ride base company or the Oem ones ? I thought it was the oem ones.

So I got the drawings from the distributor, but they threw another wrinkle at me: airbags. Anyone have knowledge of how these are connected to the seat ? My seats in the Tradesman aren't powered so I'm assuming the one connector under the seat is for that.

This is a must do to keep the Mrs. happy.
I hear you there
. I’m talking with a few vendors on some possible solutions. Biggest hurdle so far is completely replacing the seats will remove the side airbags since it’s in the seats so I’m restricting myself to just looking to remount the Oem ones.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Same here. Also curious if it will work with the air leveling, or will I need a separate air system…I hear you there. I’m talking with a few vendors on some possible solutions.

Thanks. I’ve seen this one, just not really connecting this to a solution just yet. I boiled down what I need to an air ride base mount that will attach to the OEM seat. Did you identify a part here that works?
