The passenger side is about right for the fold out desk. We put spacers under the carpet on the passenger side. We tried spacing up the floor on the driver's side but that made getting to the foot controls dangerous. I am 5'9" and think the new position is more comfortable.
Adjusting the seat forward and backward or swiveling is made unnecessarily difficult by the decorative "skirts" that attempt to hide the ever so ugly seat base... what? Get the skirts out of the way to see if that helps.

You can get shorter pedestals. Since I added the 6-way power unit I went with 5.5" but they have 6.5 and 8" ones too. Mine were only $40 each as I recall but I was in Elkart and din't have to pay shipping. My Vegas bolt pattern was 7" square so I got that those and no drilling was required.
