basically the brackets stick up above the truck bed and therefore your seat is obviously higher. not sure of the safety with this design.
anyhow, i guess in theory they will work.

I actually have considered doing something like that, except I planned on using round stock and drilling a hole in the center of it to make a spacer. You need to rise the brackets 1.5 inches above the the floor to get the for the seat mounts to slide in. I was also going to mount the spacers to 3 or 4 inch flat stock and place another piece of flat under the bed and sandwich to bed floor help prevent pull/push though. I really did not like the idea of the spacers sticking up when the seat was not in use, plus the attaching bolts would be longer then I liked for strength reasons. At this point I am really looking at getting a floor section from a donor vehicle, since it would look nicer and is designed to hold these seats in place.
