Gen2- Anyone using aftermarket seats? ( stockers are making my back hurt.)

I'm going to keep using the schroth harnesses which are DOT compliant and dont require a bar.

I'm also looking at the sparco QRT-R seats.

Just make sure your mounting points and angles are correct. Your shoulder belts are critical. My L5 disc is completely gone and my L1-4 are compressed more than 75%. My shoulder harness pulled me more down than back. High speed rollover that permanently compressed my spine about 1-1/2". Be safe.

thanks for the heads up ( seriously). I may need to rethink a harness bar, but it will be difficult if I want to retain airbags. I'm fighting the urge to go full cage, but It'll have to happen eventually.

I would prefer to not end up 1.5" shorter than I am.

I'm looking at the PRP alpha composite, which is a shell seat as well. I like my back, so I'm not keen on putting suspension seats back into the truck.

I love the Aplha's I have them on my prerunner didn't spend much time on them but it felt t firmer in fitment and felt very restricted in terms on movement.

But the GT S.E are more comfier and I have them on my Canam X3 which I push pretty hard and still find them comfortable you really feel your planted on the seat and that s with the help of the Prp 3inch 5 point seat harness.
If it was me I would definitely go with the GT's on my raptor

My only experience in Sparco’s, is my track car. Super supportive, very comfy for 3-6 hours. Never did more. That said, I can say this: Go full-Cage. If you’re pushing that hard, go full cage.
