I ordered a set of leather seat covers from Leatherseats.com a few weeks ago, I got around to installing them this weekend. Love the new look I will have photos in the truck tomorrow but wanted to post a teaser.

The wrinkles are working out as I sit on them, I expect that next hot day they will smooth right up.

Sweet job man. May I ask how much you paid?

Do you have experience doing this? How difficult?

Go to Leatherseats.com and you can price them out. I got mine on Cyber Monday so got a bit of a deal, around 740 with shipping. I have done some seats before in older cars, the bolsters made this tough my fingers hurt so bad right now from pulling and tugging to get it straight. There are a ton of videos on youtube that show how to install. Plan a 3 day weekend if you have never done this before. You need a set of hog ring pliers, a sharp knife and a good selection of hand tools. For the lid on the center seat you will also need a good electric of pneumatic stapler and 1/4" staples.

You could drape a damp towel over your seat and use your iron and try and get some of those wrinkles out. I build the Chevy Malibu seats for a living. We have steam irons for those. Little heat and a massage should get them nice and tight. Looks good though. I want seats from them.

Very nice! At the time I purchased my truck I wasn't sure what it would take to get those leather seats installed but luckily I was able to get heated Katzkins worked into the purchase. I actually like the cloth seats, I think they are more comfortable and look decent, but something about black leather in these trucks is sexy. I need to get a good pic of my interior but I did snap this shot with my phone.

That's beautiful (both Robbob and TwistedJake). Just more money for me to drop into my truck

That is awesome. I did Clazzio covers on my '13 which turned out ok, pales in comparison to yours!
