Seats for a 2nd Gen Dodge Ram

[BigClay]

Looking for some ideas and opinions on replacing the front seats in my 1996 Ram. I have a club cab, so the seats need to slide and tilt to allow access to the back. Anyone done a swap? Should I just have these re padded?

I have contemplated putting 4th gen or GM seats in mine. I'll be interested to see what others say.

I put 4th gen seats in my 3rd gen Ram. Fronts only, I didn’t both with the back seat. Direct bolt-in, and the seats are so much better. Not sure if they are a direct bolt-in for 2nd gen or not.

Just FYI if you find a set of seats from a 24 valve 2nd gen they aren't a direct swap either. The floor from the 12 valve (94-98) and 24 valve (98.5-02) are shaped differently so you have to put spacers under part of the framework. But I believe you can swap cushions and setbacks fairly easy.

I put 3rd gen ram seats in my 2nd gen. I think all I did was fab a little on the factory risers to get them to fit

You also have to watch the seatbelt. In the 98+ the seatbelts are in the seats. 97- and 3rd gen+ the are on the pillar

Here is a great set of seats front and rear that will suit you quite well...

I can definitely say the would be a great upgrade, I'd like to do a similar one eventually
