If they are anything like the mounting for the seats from a PRE- 08 you will have to drill pretty much all mounting holes as they do not match up...Check Caryt's webshots for some pictures of his install...
I don't have the 08 SD leather seats but I do have 00 SD 40-20-40's that are way better than the old broken down bench that came in the truck. I took the better part of a day to get them installed but it was worth it.
I think the process was a PITA to get them installed...BUT the end product was WELL worth it in my opinion...Seats are much better AND it adds a bit of an updated look to the cab as an added bonus.
One word of caution...In my case the seats from the SD sit higher than the stock OBS seats...(Head is closer to the ceiling with the SD seats). I am 6' tall and if I was much taller it would be a problem...

Yeah, I'm so used to it now that I forgot about that. I'm 6'2" and with the additional height I sit pretty close to the roof. And with an overhead shelf I dont need any sun visors, nor can I see the traffic light if I stop to close to an intersection.
ok, well after doing all that, do u think its worth the time and money?
Hell yes! Heated seats..gota love them! It took awhile to get used to the sitting height but now I like it better.
Only drawback is the seats don't tilt like the stockers so getting into the back I never carry extra passengers so its not a big deal but I need to see if I can mod it. Always something

well sounds like its worth the time, maybe if i can find some nice leather seats i can do it this summer, though im not sure about sitting taller, I already cant wear the cowboy hat, lol.
Anyone have any Corbeau seats in their trucks? Always wanted a 4pt harness.
