I think it depends on how much you want to raise it. My upholsterer tends to weave reinforcement in the springs when he rebuilds a classic seat. So between his reinforcement and a little extra padding he added my seats were raised an inch or so and more comfortable as well. Then my seat extenders raised the driver seat a little over a 1/4”. An inch and a 1/4 with pretty much normal maintenance work.
