Maybe dumb question but can you have both a dropper post and a suspension seat on a mountain bike? Thanks.

not to be contentious, but Darth Lefty was bringing up the pertinent point. OP was about dropper post with possible 'suspension' - no mention of intended use...
then you added more ...
again the pertinent point seems to be the bike is used on-road mostly.
commonly a dropper is used for 'off-road' riding - not saying you can;t use it however, but that - your intent wasn;t stated...
... I, as prolly many others, made a wrong assumption - that you had a HT and riding 'offroad', wanted both a 'dropper' feature as well as some suspension to take the edge off 'hits' and smooth the ride a bit.
nor was there a mention of 'gravel riding' - which might be another area where a dropper/suspension post might be desirable... then the 120 tire pressure thing out of left field.
... there's a huge amount of data out there for tire rolling resistance/tire pressure/profile... most of it for 'road' tires, now showing further expansion into 'gravel' widths and treads.
... not much on knobby mtb tires - as expected...
best way to clarify 'preconceptions' and misconceptions is to search and read what's on the internet.
