I didn't get an extension kit for the seat switch. So I just jumped it for now. I'm going to try to find an extension. If I can't find an extension connector I'll cut the plug off and make one myself.

I got the suspension kit on eBay. Seat Suspension Kit for Bad Boy Gravely Deere Toro Scag Hustler Exmark FF | eBay

It is quite effective for softening out the ride.

On that eBay link there is a picture showing the measurements of the bolt pattern.

John WD. With the added seat height. Have you had any clearance issues with your lap and the steering levers? Would you recommend the lever extension kit? Thx

I was wondering the same thing...especially with one of thicker seats like I have on mine.

It does make it a little tight. I think I am going to add the extensions.

Very Cool.. Looks like it raises the seat up by about 4 inches, is that correct ?

Not that much. It raises the seat about 2 3/4".
