Unhappy Manual Seat Problem

The seat in my 2005 F350 sits too low in the back and I was using a pillow to keep me sitting up straight because the front of the seat is too high! This kills my legs and back. I called the ford parts department and asked if they have a conversion to make it electric and the ford parts man told me to trade it in on a new truck with electric seats! I then called a U-Pull it and asked if they had an electric seat they told me no keep checking. After thinking about it for weeks I have tryed putting Shock Bushings between the floor and the foot to the seat.This helped but I need about 2 1/2" total to get what I want. Has anyone out there fixed this seat problem?

I agree with you skirk, I wish the seat in my '05 F-250 would sit more level. Mine is a 6 speed, if it was an auto I wouldn't mind the seat as much.
