Hi everyone !!! I'm Dimas and I'm the new owner of a 2005 freestar with 70,000 miles and in great shape. My question is: it has a small bench in the middle row area and I'll like to know what I have to do to change it to individual seats, do the original floor supports stays in the same place and to install the new ones, it's difficult ???

We only recommend direct fit parts. Changing seats can be dangerous if they are not properly mounted / secured.

I agree with you, but that wasn't the answer I'm looking for. What I need to know if the original supports for the bench that it have know stays on the same place, and if the other two that I'll have to install are just a bolt on thing or I have to do a more extensive job

I'm not sure what you got. If the bolt holes align it should be okay. If you need to drill new holes, that concerns me.
