Kip,
Thanks, 23 1/2" was one of the measures. Appreciate you looking. Will save me some aggravation. I think I will place some "liner" inbetween as I didn't do that when I removed 2 leafs both front and rear. I redid the fronts and used vinyl baseboard cut to size inbetween leafs. On the rears I have to reverse one which means take it out totally and the other I'll just drop the lower springs. Waldo 53 had a good idea I never thought of that putting the bottom short leaf on top of upper spring, lowering a little more. I did the front his way and liked may do the rears too as I have to take apart anyway. Again thanks for your time
Dan
