I have mentioned these in another thread but I’m going to post this because I’m just so happy with the product.
Summit has left and right late-model seat foam on the market that feels far superior to the 2003 to 2006 factory foam.
How good does it feel? It is firm without being hard, It feels like you have made a significant suspension upgrade.
It makes you feel like the seat is inclined back just a little bit more and your position with the lumbar support of the back is so good that the upper foam feels better too.
We are not talking about a marginal improvement. This stuff is night and day different.
The installation takes a good hour to remove the seat and carefully remove the upholstery and change the foam and reassemble, per seat. This is a good juncture to put spray lubricant into any cable mechanisms and lubricate the pivots.
At this point I purchased five of these. I’m taking my low mileage LJ passenger seat foam and putting it in the TJ Rubicon with the new Summit foam on the driver side.
Then I’m putting complete new foam in the LJ on both sides.
The other two I got for a buddy who has selflessly helped me with the project and some other things.
You will sit a little taller but it will not be a disadvantage in anyway.
If I had to go on a very long journey in a TJ or it was my only choice of transportation I would insist on doing this foam swap.
Most 03-06 foam is about 4-5 on the comfort scale and most are broken down next to the drivers door. What Summit sells is equal to the feel of a 2024 vehicle, It makes the entire experience of driving these even better.
You need hog rings and pliers. They do provide rings but the ones we bought seemed to work better.
....another notable point is dealing with Summit is a very pleasant experience- Everything I have ever ordered I had within a couple of days at the longest. I would say they are a Crutchfield level supplier.
Tangent below- While we’re talking about good service:
I’ll take a minute to put in a plug for @mrblaine -He will knock you down getting product out the door. He’s not after your money, he’s out to solve your problem.
He is a good example of how small business can do things big businesses can’t. The same reason that a fly can walk on the ceiling and an elephant cannot- size.

I might buy the driver's side foam and see. It has to be an improvement in the foam after jumping up into the seat for 7 years.
