jcsteele Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 So i just bought a VERY LIGHTLY used Sears Atlas Elite Lo-rider (like to sit very low) and it will only lift me an inch or so (feels more like just taking the slack out) and not air up anymore until i get up. Truck air is at a full 120. now, yes, im a big guy but i cant be the only one! This doesnt seem correct......... is there a regulator or something???

Ronbo Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 My sears elite will lift me up. May be the size of the air bag. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcsteele Posted January 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Well as soon as i get up toget out, it raises right up behind me. So i dont think its either of those. Just litterally feels like theres not enough psi to lift my fat butt LOL i have seen some scary large truck drivers and i doubt they are doing 100k+ a year with no suspension........

Exile Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Might be a regulator or restriction in the line, i dont know where your psi reading came from. A regulator would cause this behavior. 98 379 with 12.7 DD LG Dodge w/5.9 CTD Chrome habit I’m trying to kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it do the same thing as the drivers seat ? Have you tried the seats with out the seat belts connected to the seat ? Just some ideas. My Sears seats will rise about 3".

Pete Kildow Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Buddy of mine weighted in at 465 lbs. And his seat would always pick him up. But when he swapped to a new one. It for some reason did what your talking about. I think he found a line had been mashed where it goes into the bag. Have you tried the pass seat to see if it works with you in it?

jcsteele Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Pass seat is just like my old seat and it will lift me, slowly but it does. Old seats are original 1996 Bostrom Talledega seats and my new driver seat is a Sears Elite Atlas 2 so i would think it would work better.... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
