I think the stock seat is OK but for me and a few others, it cuts off circulation in our legs after a while. Having two height adjustable arm rests (even if they are fragile) is really nice as an alternative restful arm position on long runs. Also, the knoedler seems a little "wobbly"/flexing side to side, relative to the factory seat, even though we rechecked all bolts were tight. Could be that it is just a "regular" width instead of extra wide like stock.

Nah, they just completely block me if I get too impious

Sounds like the new stock seats are better than my 2019 ones.

Pic of the new seat with the remote on the floor next to the battery shutoff switch. I like their emblem if for no other reason than it being a little politically incorrect ever since I got chewed out for wearing a Cleveland baseball hat...

I got to say, i have no complaints about the flexsteel seat that was in my pusher. I have a lot of complaints about my old pusher, but not the seat!

I actually called lexington (Now Lippert), and they told me they dont sell retail, so Brian can you give me a price on that armrest for the drivers seat 2018 DX?

I don't know of any "other arm rest". We never installed two. You can try and reach out to the parts contact on our website, but I am guessing a part number does not exist for a 2nd arm rest. The seats we use today have two arm rests because we use stock seats, recovered. Not Lexington/LCI.

Nor can I confirm the the ability to install a 2nd arm rest exists.

Is it possible to add an arm rest to the stock seats in the 2019 XL? I’d like to do that for sure. We’re happy with the stock seats. At some point I may have them redone with some top grain leather to match the couch we installed. We’d really appreciate the second arm rest.

Did you get the Hi-pro or Lo-pro suspension?

Yes. You can buy them direct from the manufacturer (Lexington, now Lippert as Brian stated). The frames already have the sockets in them to accept the armrests.

It's been a while, but I thought when I ordered mine they told me the only difference was that the hi-pro seats had an extra 'spacer' in the base/stack (which was removable to change it into a lo-pro seat). Essentially, they're identical.

[halla]

Yes that’s correct, it would be too high with the extra spacer

I installed them myself, and we love them.

Good afternoon everyone,

Switched up from the 260st with non-swivel captain chairs to a 360XL that has the swivel base. Now when the seat is aired up to get the good bounce my eye line is at the visor height. yeah...

Talked to Mark at Dynamax and they dont sell the non-swivel base for our rigs. Not sure what has changed in the M2 or the OEM seats but go figure.

Now I am considering a seat replacement as well. Mookie, do you have the part number for the base plate adaptor? And this setup get you good air suspension ride while having your eye sight not at the visor?

Thanks,

Miguel

How tall are you? I'm 6' 4" and in the OEM seat (2018 DX3 TS) I was looking at the sun visor with no air in the seat. I went with the Bottom wide ride seats with 2 arm rests. On the driver's side I did not buy a swivel to keep the height down and now I have a perfect view out the windshield when aired up. I did get a swivel for the passenger side since my wife is only 5' 6" tall.

I got mine from National seat, also buy the M2 adaptor. There is a 1" piece in the stack you can leave out to get the seat lower. They include that piece so you can match seat height if you only have a swivel on one side.

Install is easy requiring a couple of hand wrenches, use the air hookup from the OEM seat. Takes less than 1 hour per side.
