Raising the front seat is a fairly simple job on a non-power seat. All you need are some spacers and longer bolts. It is surprising what a little height adjustment can make in the seating position. The same procedure may work on a power seat, but I have not had experience with this. Some here have also moved the seat assembly back for more leg room.
V8 Power seats are held by threaded studs captured or sometimes welded to the track mounts. The nuts are located under the car -- 4 per side. There is another single stud for the power actuator anchor. It's about even with the back two and a foot or so in toward the center of car -- roughly above the compensator motor.
Most of the seats I've looked at have plywood shims on the front and nothing on the back. My 5697 has 3/8 thick but have seen thinner. You can add a shim to the back pair of bolts on each side to raise it. If you have shims in front and want to remove them instead, check and make sure the horiz motor won't drag against the carpet on the tunnel side as seat moves forward. Can't use more than about 5/8 inch total front or rear or you will run out of stud underneath.
