will the seats in my 2006 fit into my 1996. the seats are non-electric, and the dual buckets with a jump seat. im lookin at a pair of sparcos for $200 a guy took out of his wrecked race car and want them in my 2006. since the 1996 seats are just done for thought id ask if this is an easy switch. im sure theyll need a little fab work on mounting but the actual dimensions, are they to wide to fit or just the same? i think theyre close because we did a measurement of windshields the other day, i did not know that the 96s to 09s have the same exact windshield

also i hate the search function on here so ill just ask, what track bars did you lifted guys go with? mine is beyond shot and just replaced the bushing, the other side is still bad but i dont have the death wobble anymore for now. im looking at just doing the bd diesel one but it is $600 but i have seen a few other adjustable ones so wanted a consensus on which one to go with

so 1. bd diesel, 2. solid steel, 3. skyjacker, 4. other

 

On the seats I think someone here did put 3rd Gen seats in his 2nd Gen Ram, do believe there was some custom fab work for the brackets/mounts, but I'm sure it's do able.

 

seat belts will be a problem most likely...

 

Ya the 2nd gen seat belts come out of the seat, 3rd gens do not. I'm not sure if that's an easy fix or not, but something to think about.

 

its not an easy fix...would have to reinforce the roof and attach the seat belt there if its a quad cab. if its not a quad cab you can attach behind the door but still need reinforcement there. 2nd gen quad cabs have the belt come out of the seat because there is nowhere to put the lap belt since both doors open and the seat moves. makes more sense to have it in the seat...you are stuck with second gen seats...

 

Wrong, guys.
The post-98 2nd gens come out of the seat.
97 and older come out of the cab.

 

Wells, alls I know is someone DID put 3rd Gen seats in their 2nd Gen Ram, can't remember who, and have no clue what kind of battle they had with the seat belts.... OP, get fabbing!

 

There has been a bunch, actually. lol
Biggest problem IIRC is with post-98's.

 

i was gonna say my 96 belts come out of the cab? it looks like it wouldnt be too hard, ill see whenever i get back to houston. the only seat that id have to worry about the belt is the jump seat, on my 06 its mounted on the back of the cab. may just be able to swap it over. wish the person who did it could chime in and let me know what all had to be done to do it. i got a new noise this weekend after driving thru heavy water the other day, sounds like a heat shield vibrating but looked at them today and both look fine. im almost positive it needs new hubs along with everything else. paints starting to chip pretty bad out here in the el paso sun and thatll need to be attended to as well. needs an adjustable track bar too, which one did you 2nd gen guys go with?

 

oh and the paints chippin because the guy who painted it before i bought it didnt use primer. why take shortcuts people, why!
