ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body or chassis is raised and lowered on an associated suspension coil spring by a device including a screw, a motor and motor controller, and a gear drive. The device enables adjustment of body or chassis height by the vehicle operator while the vehicle is in motion. Locknuts determine a limited range of adjustment. A particularly advantageous application is adjustment of race cars for specific conditions pertaining to a particular race track or race event. In a preferred embodiment, major components of the device are readily removable from the vehicle, enabling the vehicle to be adjusted prior to a race, then modified to meet, illustratively, NASCAR rules operative during the race.
