Hello,
I'm getting ready to run some wiring inside the truck and would like to make sure I don't interfere with airbag deployment.
Trying to find a diagram that shows how the airbags extend down and around the sides.
Found the following description with a search:

Front-impact airbags​

Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.

Side impact airbags​

Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.

Overhead airbags​

Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.

Anyone know of a diagram or photo that shows all the airbag inflated?

Thanks

Do the A pillar bags go all the way back to protect the passengers in the back seat?

Driver curtin and seat airbag deployed. Front section of curtin bag was cut out but runs between the a puller and weatherstripping and between the headliner and weatherstripping. If you're running wire, do it on the windshield side of the puller and route along the harness on the headliner.

The bighorn I am working on does not, I can check my Laramie when I get home but there is no room on the passenger side for one due to the placement of the hvac. So I doubt they do
