Can anyone give me the "official" name for this shock height adjuster? Who made it? Have you ever used one? How did it perform?

Thanks,

They were refered to as weight jackers if I remember correctly and to my knowledge they were home made items. Do not recall any one person marketing them.

Yes Fred is close to the right name! The name of those is a "weight jack" . Very close! It was great to meet you in person Fred! I had a great time in Easley, as well as a fast car...just no luck!

Brian Hess made the first of those. After we used them at a few races a couple of other guys started making their own. Not sure if that is one Brian made or not. They actually worked pretty good. We used them on our Thunder Bolt and Lighting cars back in the early to mid 90's. Terry Rae didn't really care for them because the adjustment in wedge was fairly course. We mainly used them in case we needed to make an adjustment during a race.
