I know several people who use washers to lift their seat but some people have mixed ideas about doing it that way. I also heard you can flip the stock bracket upside down and gain about an inch but I havent actually looked at it to see if its possible, mostly word of mouth

I dont think there would be anyway to flip the bracket and washers would be OK I guess but the bolts just arnt long enough for anything more then 1/4-3/8"

I've heard of people building brackets to put between the floor and the stock brackets. I'm not sure how they did it but they either used channel iron or square tubing. Sorry I can't be more help.

yea That would work too with square tubing... BUT you would have to lift it atleast 2" or more. I dont plan on sitting back there but im 6'2" and dont want my head in the roof... maybe you just cant lift it 1/2 with out drillin out those bolts
