Adjustable lift blocks for solid axles - first sighting

Good morning gentlemen:
I was prospecting through Reno, Nevada, Craiglist auto-parts the other evening and came across these.



Above photo showing the top side w/ hole to accept spring pack center bolt. Interesting.

Below is a link to the ad if active. Ad was 27-days old today. (not my ad). as I live in California.
Adjustable Leaf Spring Blocks - auto parts - by owner - vehicle... (craigslist.org)

Anyway, I have never in my life seen adjustable LIFT BLOCKS.
i do suspect these could be very helpful in adjusting an axle assembly forward or rearward to accomodate a driveline or maybe ever interference with the lip of a Fenderwell perhaps. I have no idea who makes them.
I'm wondering if these adjustable contraptions are more of a Liability than a benefit.
They'd maybe be OK for a TRAILER QUEEN. LoL

Enjoy.

I have my doubts that's what they were made for. Looks like something off some sort of industrial machine.

I think I have seen something like that for racing before. I would not feel comfortable running them on a daily driver unless they could be locked into place once adjusted.

Interesting find for sure. X2 not sure if it is for a vehicle application. The adjustable part with the "pin" looks bigger than the leaf spring pad center pin hole and or the leaf spring center pin head. So not really adjustable in height, it says provided 2.5 worth of lift. But more for like changing the wheel base. They also look a lot longer than a normal OEM block. If the nut or bolt head has a hole in it you can either cotter pin (if it is a thru hole) or safety wire it tight.

They are made for the stock car racing circuit, to set the axles for turning left all the time.
