Performance aftermarket seats can really improve a driving experience. Though stocks seats are usually fine for normal cruising and have been deemed comfortable enough for most people to deal with, we are not normal people. And we're guessing you're not quite normal either. Being off-roaders and also Southern Californians, we require seats supportive enough for off-road, but comfy enough to live in for hours at a time on the freeways.
And knowing that Corbeau has seat brackets for almost every vehicle we've ever heard of, we knew they'd have something that would please us. After talking to Corbeau's customer support about what exactly we needed out of a seat, they suggested the LG1, a seat they tout as possibly the most comfortable aftermarket seat made. And being that some of our staff are over the 6-foot, 200-pound marks, Corbeau suggested we try out the wide versions (2 inches wider) that will fit up to a 42-inch waist.
Once they showed up (in under a week, by the way), we had the stock seats out of our ride and these new ones installed in about an hour.
What Did We Think?
Our seats went into our vehicle in a little under half an hour per side once we had all the tools out. We ordered the wide versions of the LG1, but it still fit easily into our midsize truck. You can't really believe how much you'll like aftermarket seats until you've sat in some yourself. The amount of vehicle control gained from the lack of body roll (yours) is amazing. It's hard to realize how much control is lost by your body shifting on a stock seat until you get into performance seating for a comparison. And this LG1 is not only a seat that holds us in place well behind the wheel; it's actually turned out to be one of the most comfortable aftermarket seats we've ever spent some real time in.

Removing our factory stuff was no big thing - there are usually four bolts (one in each corner of the seat bracket) that hold the seats down to the floor of the vehicle. The new brackets will mount directly in place of the factory equipment. Corbeau has seat brackets that either replace or adapt onto existing factory seat brackets. And no joke, Corbeau has it for almost any truck, SUV, or 4x4 you can think of. Just look on the company's website. It even has brackets for getting its seats into UTVs. | 
Depending on what type of vehicle you have (and therefore what type of seat brackets you get), there might be height adjustment built into the bracket. For this Dodge application, we had the options of three different heights to put our seats at. Trial and error led us to our most comfortable seat position. In the past, we've had Corbeaus in a Cherokee that uses an adapter to put the new seat onto the factory seat frame, utilizing all the factory seat controls. |  |
Since we were keeping the original factory three-point seatbelt system, we bolted the belts onto the Corbeau mounting brackets, so the belts travel back and forth with the seat on the sliders. | 
Using the original hardware, the Corbeau brackets bolt directly in place of the factory ones. | 
The inflatable lumbar support is basically a bag with a pump ball on the end. Very simple, very effective, and very little to go wrong. |
One option we definitely included was the adjustable lumbar support. The inflator comes out of the upholstery of the seat and hangs to the side when not in use. The black leatherette patches sewn onto all the high points of the seat prevent wear from heavy use over time. | | |
