Default change drivers seat from manual to electric

I did a search and didn't see where anyone had posted on this. I was wondering if:

Is the electrical connections there on my 2007 LT model?

Is this conversion possible?

Is there any more range of seat adjustments using the electric seat versus the manual?

My wife is short and would like to raise the seat to see over the dash. Do I change the seat or get a taller wife???????????

Now thats good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!
I would think the range of motion would be the same for both seats, but I would still keep the short one...they have obvious advantages!

the electric seat in my 97 sub goes back and forth and up and down as well as tilts forward and backwards.........the electric provides more custom options for seat position.

Thanks for all the inputs and please stop sending me your wives and girlfriends numbers.........this is not a solicitation for a new spouse.

Does anyone know if all the wiring is there uinder the driver's seat?????????

I believe there is MORE range of motion with an electric.

My wife doesn't want a pillow, and surgery is out of the question.

It's the height of being able to see OVER the dash that is hindering her view,

The pedal extenders are a nice touch but come on,....there has to be someone out there that knows this answer to my post............

my guess is the wiring is not there but it should not be more than a power wire and a ground
