My suggestion is if you want them to work, make new brackets for them. I don't know if the seat tracks are part of the "stands" though.

The way your seats are set up there isn't much room to cut things down. I just looked at my 02 GMC 1500HD and my wifes 03 Yukon Denali seats. You "might" be able to cut the mounting tabs off and use some flat bar to gain a couple inches of drop. I don't see any way to get much more without loosing some power functions....

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for shedding some light Ken.
