I have my 60" tv mounted on a tv mounted to the wall per the instructions. However, I do not get enough swivel before the edge of the tv hits the wall. So I want to attach two 4×4's from the ground up to about 6 inches higher than the top of the mount. My plan is to attach the 4×4's to the studs in the wall and then attach the mount to the 4×4's. And if I still need a little more space from the wall, I was going to use 2×6 across the two 4×4's and attach the mount to the 2×6's. My guess would be that if the 4×4's are attached top, middle and bottom to the stud and with the 4×4's touching the floor, there should be no problem???

That'd work. there are easier ways though.
If your TV mount is already mounted to studs you could just pack your 4" or 6" of wood behind it and screw that wood to the studs then screw the mount to the wood. there's no need to have the wood extend all the way down to the floor.
I'd use 2x4s drilled half-way through with a spade bit and then screwed through the bottom of the holes to the studs with 4" chip-board or drywall screws
