Default Front Bumper/Safety Air Bags?

So at somepoint I am going to replace my factory bumper with a Ranch Hand style custome bumper. Do you know if this will mess with the in cab safety air bags? Are the sensors in the bumper or in the Frame?

I know there are a few guys on here that are running the ranchhand bumpers, and have never mentioned anything about having to relocate the senors, if there were any.

The sensors are monted to the frame. Not the bumper. You should be just fine.
