Cuz he wants to and he can. I would just take a measurement of your passenger seat (40%) and the new racing seat... If they are the same width or pretty close.. You could probly just fit an expo or lvl 2 console

why what? racing seat and 4 point? because if i roll, my stock seat and stock belt arent going to hold me in. research some real trucks and see what they have in there cab. next is sliders and bumpers, then exo cage

What do you mean by real trucks? That racing seat is gonna hold up well when that roof caves in. I wasn't trying to be an *** with my question. I was more wondering what you actually do with your truck to think your gonna roll it over or just think your cool with a racing seat.

A racing seat isn't a bad idea for a SAS. It will do well when you cage it in. I've seen some in guys road queen Rangers. I'm like, what's the point.
