The captive nuts in the floor that the brackets bolt into typically have a small amount of forward and backward adjustment, but crud tends to find its way into the slot jamming them up and if you have carpet in place it may be hard to get to them to see if you have any adjustment left.
But between the nuts and the slots in the bracket, even if adjusted all the way forward in the current position and you are able to slide back, we’re not talking about much gain maybe an inch at most?
if you wanted/needed more you could probably fabricate an extension.
The challenge is keeping it low profile enough so you increase heigh as little as possible, and working with the valleys in the floor pan in the area the seat tracks bolt down as the brackets typically have “feet” that sit in the recess of the floor pan which means the floors aren’t just flat.

Most Stude. seat Brackets have multiple holes to allow some more movement. Use the forward holes to push the seat back more.StudeRich
