Default TRZ relocation brackets??

Ok heres the deal ...my car is low ..I men really low
I measured the lower control arm mounting and its 7" from the center of the bolt to the ground ...I have relocation brackets and Im in the lowest hole and my arms are essentially parallel to the ground ..I need more adjustment.
Has any body used the TRZ brackets ??
I have designed a set of my own which will give me an additional 7.5 degrees in 2.5 degree increments ..just deciding on water jetting out my own design or just buying the TRZ's ..any thoughts ?
All the holes will be removed except the ones on the print

You may want to do your own, same issue I had my car sits really low as well, which is why I built a set. Little different than what you're doing but same end result.

Did u ever measure from the front mounting bolt centerline to the ground?
I actually was going to do set like yours ...but my chassis guy said these will be fine...
Luis easier to make ..i can water jet these in about 20 minutes vs CNCing the serrated style.

Here's a photo for you, for reference the rear tires have about 24psi in them just so the car will roll around easier. At 12 where I would run them it's over an inch lower

I am using the trz mounts with my 10 bolt. I had to modify them a bit as they are designed for 12 bolt and 9 inch. My car is very low as well. I have them in the bottom hole and they are up hill about 2.5 degrees. Best 60 so far is 1.43.

It would appear that you are on a 29 10.5 ?

18192 hoosier 29x10.5 It measures rather large for a 29 inch tire coming in at 30.5 I measured these with a string to make sure they were a matching pair, diameter after figuring it out came out to 30.6, not small. I run a 27 on the front of the car as well.

With a 28/26 inch setup like commonly seen on these the oil pan would be dragging the ground with where I have the ride height of everything.

The trz's are a nice piece. I've seen them mocked up in person.

Here you can see how far up the axle is and the angle that you can still get with the ones I had done.
