I removed 3 leafs from the 10 leaf. Every other one starting with the first.

Not much difference with the height when car is empty, maybe 1/2" lower.
With two people in the car it dropped it about 1 1/2" and makes for a soften

The wedge is the better way to lower the car. I was going to do it this
winter but never got around to it.
