A wedge the same width as the leaf stuck under the bottom leaf will
lower it.
I found a square shaped "U" bolt from a boat trailer to clamp the wedge
to the leafs. I used the small leaf from and old set as a shim, anything
1.5" wide and about 1/4" thick will work but find a clamp so it does not
bounce out.
