Lower the stock bench seat?

[BigSky71]

I have shortened my steering column to get the steering wheel out of my lap, but now with my seat refurbished with new foam and cover I think it sits too high compared to my steering wheel. The new seat is way taller because its not broken down like the old foam.

I am not a tall guy and I am not trying to hide behind the dash but I am wondering if anyone has lowered the stock seat and if they liked the results? I am thinking about going down about 1.5".
