I placed a 3 by 2 inch square tube between the seat frame and the seat, this was done by unbolting the seats from the frame not the floor, four bolts and drilling eight holes on the square tubes on the 2 inch side, so that the tubes bolt on to the frames and the seat bolts on to the square tube, make sure that the tube is thick enough or thicker than the metal on the frame and the seat, and the holes are dead center on the 2 inch side.
The bolts, nuts and washers should be of industrial grade strength, the head of the bolt should have 5 lines radiating out to the corners, do not use Chinese junk from Home Depot or Lowe's, get them at a hardware store that actually carries American made bolts.
I also replaced the center console with the bigger one from Ford, I offset the passenger seat back by 3 inches with the holes that were drilled for the seat, and 2 inches for the drivers seat,the angles at the front were cut at a slight angle do not cut to close to the bolt holes just enough for shoe clearance, we are both tall so the extra leg space came in handy this allows us to go back, the wife for goodies in the fridge or pantry and me when it is raining upon arrival at the campgrounds.
