I'm sure it could be done but the seat and brackets would all be custom. Foot room for the passenger would be an issue. No room on the drivers side; it would interfere with the pedal. The only mechanical issue would be the e-brake, another huge fabricating issue. All in all not worth it.

The only reason a setup like that works in a truck is because of the seat height from the floor. The jeeps seat are more like an average car. (NO, I did not call a jeep a car)

if you need more passenger room, i might recommend adding a 3rd row of seats in the back instead. would be a lot easier and more practical and teraflex offers a kit to do this now.
