I've got the Baja SS (Corbeau) I've got plenty of leg and head room (I'm 6'2") with an interior cage. The only real problem I have is getting in and out due to the high sides the seats have. Overall though I love em.

Do those recline and stuff? Can you still use the console?

They don't recline. I don't know about the console, mine was gone when I got the truck.

i havent mounted it yet, but i have one of those seats ( i think we are talking about the same one) it fits nicely. i am a big guy and it does get me pretty close to the roof, possibly even a little higher than stock, but i know i will jsut recline it a little bit. it is pretty close to just bolting in. the seat crossmember has holes in it already, so i jsut need to toss some bolts in






i do have an extra cab though

it does recline, they also slide forward and backward

i am 6'3" tall and my legs are way long. the inseam on my pants are 36"

I got the vinyl ones easy to clean, the others are cloth that you would have to scotch guard for water resistance. I am not home so i cant take pics but in a week or so i will have some for you guys. I started looking and seats are really expensive and this company isnt new but they are priced reasonably, i mean who wants to spend 350+ a seat just for beard or mastercraft seats
