Take your time and do your research buddy, all of the OE airbag components on the seats I.E.:
Occupant detection sensors & seat position sensors have to be transferred over to the aftermarket seats. You'll need to track down an occupant bypass sensor to make it work and if you don't the entire airbag system will default to "off". Any time there is an error in the system it defaults to all off and the bags will not fire.

Also, carefully measure the seats you are looking at, most are very narrow and have high thigh bolsters that will pin your legs together which is uncomfortable. Most of the " wide " versions will not fit in our trucks. I found the Corbeau LG-1 to be a good seat, I'm 5'-9" and 165 and I would say that is max size for daily driving comfort. Anyone bigger than that and your shoulders are going to roll forward when they are pinched between the bolsters. All aftermarket seats are much more firm than the stock seats too so test drive ( sits your ass in them ) first if you can.

Edit - already had someone PM me and ask about the rear seats. No, Corbeau does not make seat brackets for the rear nobody does. I bought an extra pair of front seat brackets and sliders and completely modified them to fit the rear floor. All 4 legs were cut off and reconfigured. You have to be very careful designing rear seat brackets because the headroom is very low back there so your brackets must sit flat to the floor. You also have to weld in threaded inserts to your floor and add some metal where you are bolting to the floor so it is not just 1 layer etc. All pretty easy to do for anyone with mild fab skills.
