I was going to put air ride on my truck to smooth out the ride but we just bought a F650 for work and in researching air ride seats I found this little gem. For the price of a set of Firestone Ride-Rite air bags you can buy two air ride seat bases for the front buckets.
Needless to say me and my back are pretty stoked at the moment.

Unbolt stock seat.
Bolt in new seat base and reuse the slide track.
Hook the seat bases up to an air compressor and you're golden with a nice smooth ride.

Pat, you reuse the adjustment rails that are attached to the seat. I went over to the shop that ordered the air ride seat base for us and looked at it today it's a pretty easy to do. Undo four bolts and pull off the factory seat base and bolt it to the new one.

I haven't been up M95 further than Channing lately so I don't know. Most of what I've been on have been back roads in Marquette County and the road I drive going to and from Heather's place is horrid. There's one bump on 426 that I hit at 55 and it was so violent it knocked my cell phone cradle off the dash.
