Drivers swivel seat height

[Buggycpl]

Good evening folks

We are in the throws of planning a Crafter van conversion and enjoying looking around all the info that is out there. We want to fit 2 swivels seats at the front and I have heard that the drivers seat gets raised by fitting a swivel mechanism. Is this true for all swivel mechanisms? Does it raise by a lot? My wife is 5ft tall and if it raises too much I am the permanent designated driver!

TIA

Kiravans swivel is about 43mm, some are taller up to 60mm from memory. Audrio swivels are 19mm lift

I used the R&J Campers one in ours - it raises the seat quite a bit. I would say the lowest seat setting on the swivel is equivalent to the highest seat setting without it, so that's a good way to assess it.
I think the height is necessary to stop the seat fouling the handbrake when it's turned (even with the handbrake off).
