I am not a large person but I am 6' and long legs and this set up made a lot of difference . Also feels like I have a lot more room between the wheel and me .

I agree with the 90's seat giving you more room. My truck had a 90's seat in it when I bought it. Over time, I went back with the stock seat during the interior restoration. I noticed the stock seat put me up and closer to the steering wheel.
