Hey Dayton,
Ive set up a couple of Fours over the years for tall bros and they are fairly simple to downright expensive, but very doable.

1. Thinner cushions. Buy a roll of NASA foam online and "roll your own" front cushions. Even 1" works fine.
2. Recline front seat. Cut the top of the front seat where it can rest slightly aft of the plans position but the pilot's cranium is slightly between the roll bar.
3. Buy a Lance Logan canopy.
