raising the seat height with blocks

Thinking about making some blocks to fit under the seat runners to raise the height of the front seats. I am used to a higher driving position from more agricultural four wheel drive vehicles! Anyone tried this or have any thoughts?

+1.  You're interfering with something that could save your (or any other driver's) life unless you fit something structurally sound that can cope with the extra stresses.
