Thanks cruiser54 for taking the time to post those pictures .... now I can definitely tell you all ... I ain't got nothin like those pictures!! lol!!
As SteveMonger said ... "my seat cushions and wires and springs are all lashed into the lower seat frame tubing."
There are obviously different designs for different years ... I have a 1996.
My seats are like a chair that has a spring support system and then a foam layer over top. No steel tub.
Thanks to all ... I am going to try and take the cover off the lower seat cushion and build it up with foam. First time I'll be doing this. I'll take pics of the process.
I may have just gotten lucky but I switched the lower seat mounting frame from a passenger to driver and it went on no problem.

I have an 88 Cherokee and like most the driver seat is wore out. Did you just swap brackets and seats both from one side to the other? I was told passenger seat will work on driver side..

Just swap a passenger side cushion. You can even swap the upholstery easily.

can I swap the backrest part of the front seats also? I haven't swapped the bottom cushions yet but I have looked at them and know how to do it. Not sure on backrest cushions of front seats? My whole driver seat is crap. Backrest part leans against the arm rest.

Remove backrest,
I need to know how to remove back rest on front seats...I have not been able to find anything showing how to swap the back rest cushions on front seats.
Thanks!

Just dive in. Begin at the bottom of the seatback.
Once you get the bottom cushion off, you'll see 4 more bolts (maybe 2 botts and 2 nuts) that hold the seat frame to the pedestal. So the seat frame bolts to the pedestal, then the cushion bolts to the seat frame,
Here's my 88 during a seat swap (cracked seat frame)
