We know seats,
so you don't have to.
Tough Seats opened its doors in 2010, founded by Nick Kemnitz. Tough Seats strives to mate incredible product knowledge with good prices and quality product. Growing steadily since its inception, we currently maintain an inventory of 2 million dollars in suspension seats.
Tough Seats believes in investing its resources in inventory and its people. Our first goal and priority is fitment. We know seats are big, bulky, and annoying to install. We understand that not much is worse than lugging a seat all the way up a haul truck just to find out the seat you purchased is 11" wide with a 12V compressor and you need 15" wide with a 24V compressor. We do not believe on skimping on the little things to make an extra dollar, all hardware is grade 8, all steel mounting plates are 8 gauge or thicker. Any seatbelt we sell is rated for SAE J386.
Full custom build, design, and fab. Tough Seats can build to order on almost any seat we stock and service.
