Rear SHock

Hey guys...
I am looking for a way to increase rear ride hight on my 01 F4i.. I have read that you can use a 5mm washer under the shock mount to increase the stock shocks ride hight. I was looking for something like a 3 sided washer so I can slip it in with out having to remove the bolt to insert the washer.
Any help would be great.

Go to a car steering and suspension shop and ask for an old style steering alignment shim.
They are sort of Y shaped and the 2 prongs of the Y fit around the top bolt and under the nut. I have one at home but I can't seem to find a pic.
D'uh I just read CBR99XX's post in full

I used washers to shim the shock on my VFR by cutting a section out with a hacksaw.
