I'm 6' 3" and sleep fine in the back of my XJ. Remove the bottom seat cushion (put it on the roof), move front seats forward, inflate twin air mattress and sleep like a baby.
We do similar, Slide the front seats forward but we have a perfect sized tool box and sports bag to fill the rear floor board cavity up to level front to back. Thick memory foam double sized mattress and good to go.
