Control Arm Relocation Brackets

My car is lowered 2". Will control arm relocation brackets hinder ground clearance?

No. Unless of course you lowered it by using tiny tires... the brackets go on the rear end, so as long as the tires are a reasonable size, they'll fit fine.

The picture is good. You'll notice that the suspension parts don't go below the bottom of the rim.

A lowered car really needs relocation brackets. You need to keep the LCA parallel to the ground or slightly higher in the front. Doing this will reduce or eliminate wheel hop.

Before I went to ladder bars I made a set for my old diff. I had 3 holes. 1", 2" and 3" lower than stock. The 3" hole put the rear of the control arm lower than the front.
