Inserted 1" foam under stock seat

[betterthanstock]

After 50k, on longer trips I started to feel the two side steel rails against my but_. So today I found some scrap 1" foam.
I don't know what type of plastic, but it is very firm, almost like cork, and very flexible, not the polystyrene that breaks into popcorn when you bend it. Sorry I can't help you on the type of plastic, it's not polyurethane either, I know they have a hard time recycling it due to it being very hard to shred. Maybe polyethylene?

I removed the one screw holding the recliner handle, and two screws for the power seat control.
I then reached under the seat and there are two 3-inch-wide plastic hooks on the side closest to door, which take a little contortionism to unhook.
I cut 2 pieces (one for each seat) of about 13.5 by 7 or so inches, and inserted them in between the wire mesh and the seat pillow.
The distance between the rails is about 14 inches, so that 13.5 fits pretty good. Then I pushed it as far back (rear of truck) as it will go, right to the coil springs. Hooking it back up is a piece of cake, and then the handle and cover go back on.

Took it for a test ride to Home Depot, and besides sitting 1 inch higher (I adjusted the height down a little), I noticed an improved ride, since there is more foam to cushion the bumps.
