Default Snyder's taller seat springs

On of our club members gave me a seat cushion he had made for a 30 ccpu. My truck had the wrong seats in it.
He said it sits a little lower than the standard seat. I know Snyder's sells a taller back rest. Does anyone have the height of that back rest handy? Or the dimensions of the standard. I realize I can probably call Snyder's but thought I would try here first.

Default Re: Snyder's taller seat springs

I had this same conversation with Snyder’s some time back. As I recall they said that it was 2 inches shorter on the seat bottom and therefore 2 inches longer on the backrest.

I am confused??? The subject is TALLER seat springs yet all of the discussion is about SHORTER springs.
I have heard that the taller springs gave more leg room.

Misquoted in thread title. The back rest is taller to accommodate a shorter cushion, but I don't have correct dimensions for either.
