We low-buck racers used a bathroom scale and a 2 x 8 with a fulcrum. A
mess to set up, but it worked.

It is not a lot of money to make a cylinder out of aluminum, make a
piston using an O ring for the seal ,and connect it to a pressure
gage. I think we made a set of four and spent less than $10 per
wheel, not counting engineering and manufacturing time. It was worth
while for circle track racing where you were adjusting the suspension
often. Might not be worthwhile for sports cars.
