The steering column is attached at two places: under the dash, and the side of the foot box.

You really can't lower the mount under the dash without some cutting and welding.

But, you can raise the other end a little bit simply by drilling a new hole. This - of course - will change the angle, and move the steering wheel closer to the dash.

Be very careful about how much you move that mount though. There isn't a lot of space between the steering U-joint and the valve cover.
