Adjusting Tilt in bench seats

I have a SE king Popular Package with Bench. I was reading some threads that talked about adjusting the flatness in the seat to make it more comfortable. I was looking under the seats and noticed two possible places to put spacers to adjust the tilt. I did three washers per bolt to space the brackets that attach the frame to the floor of the truck. Then, I noticed that where the front of the cushion attaches to the frame of the seat there are two bolts. I decided to find the perfect spacer, a .45 x .324 x 27/64 nylon spacer. You can find them at just about any hardware store. This was the perfect fit. They allowed me to use the stock bolts, and still have enough bite to screw them in. Over all I now have just about a 1" raise in the front of the seats. As for the Results , Way better, much more comfortable. I snapped a few pics while I was doing to so I could show you. I also have some pics earlier in the day after I finished washing it.
