Thank you, I did search and the only posts I found was that you had to drill 4 holes in the stock brackets and raise the passangers seat. I was just hopping for a posts with more information.

I drill my stock rails to adapt the aftermarket seats. In the passenger side I make an steel plate extension to rise the seat like 1" in the door side.

yeah, watch the passenger side seat, the inside will most likely be about a 1/2"+ higher on the inside when you mount the rails.
