I had to replace my stockers a while back and got the Smittybilt C5 seats, but now theyre falling apart and im tired of the leather. Im in the market for new seats and ive been eyeing a couple sets of suspension seats. Id love the Mastercraft reclining ones but i dont have that much money, so i found these instead.

Which do you guys like better? Any experience with either?

Option 1:

well the synkros arent sold on ebay anymore for a very discounted price so i emailed Hunsaker and asked if i could buy the cloth ones for the ebay price. They agreed, so im most likely going to buy those ones.

i built a center console when i got those crappy smittybilt's so i could put my arm on something. but i know what you mean, the stock console was way too low for me.

ordered the Huns. today at lunch. We'll see how they are when they get here. Cant be soon enough, those smittys are really getting uncomfortable on the lower back.

got the Hunsakers in today. Sending them back.

Theyre well made and the recline mechanism works great, but theyre THE MOST uncomfortable seat Ive sat in. Granted im a big guy with a 40" waste, but i sat in cheaper ones at Carlisle that were 1000x's more comfortable.

Not sure if i want to order Option 2, or just keep my eye out for a new pair of stockers on ebay.

back of seat was too narrow for me (40" waist) and the lower back bulged out way too far. Made for a real uncomfortable position.
