I was thinking of doing something like this with some air filled vibration isolators that I have around. I've also got an automatic leveling valve I was going to see about throwing in there too. I'm so far from getting the rest of the machine going right now that it will be a while though.

And for some reason are quite heavy, I know, I've repaired enough of them. I would hazard a guess that with a little ingenuity it wouldn't be too difficult to make an air seat, and if you used air cylinders running up the back of the seat the overall height could be kept down.
