relocation brackets too low?

for people who have relocation brackets on their stock height cars heres my question. does the relocation bracket hit the speedbumps when you go over them by any chance? or do they scrape on anything i have no clue how low itll hang but it looks like its gonna be quite a ways down.

The relocation bracket is below the axle tube. The only way they're going to hit a speed bump is if you do it so fast you blow out both tires and dent the rims as well.

They're right next to the tires. THey can't hit the ground as long as the car has wheels and tires on it.

As long as your rear tires are bigger than about 18" OD, you'll be fine.

Be careful around raised manhole covers

They get unpleasant sometimes
