Seat support - back issues - Bad seat?

[Deadfish]

I've posted a bunch, and heard a lot of people with seat issues. I've been trying to imperially prove there is an issue with my seat. I think I may just have found it.

I've had issues with the seat from day one, I'm getting more used to it, but I still find it induces back pain, and it takes a lot of stretching / working out to keep it in check.

In my truck it feels like the left side sits lower than the right.

I used a small level (can get at the Dollar tree if you want to test yourself) - Camp level the truck.

The front edge of the seat shows as level, but the back of the seat, the left is much lower. Both at the back stitching, and at the back seam.

Then I was trying to figure out how to show it under load.

I used a plastic container to remove the bolsters from effecting the level.

In my tests the level does not show much difference, but when I push down, the Left side of the seat sinks MUCH more than the right.

I'll try to attach a video, Even tho my arm is more to the right side, you can see how much more force I put on the right, and how much less force it takes to sink the left side of the seat.

I've opened a ticket, and it's going in next week, but I'd love to know if other's seats are the same, of if it's an issue with mine.

I’ve got the same issues with my 2023 R1S Driver’s seat. Did you have any success at the service center or find a fix short of selling it?

I thought I was crazy that it felt like I was sitting crooked on the back but mine is opposite where the left side, facing the exterior, is higher. I'm going to have to check this.
