Those are like LCA relocation brackets that you could apply to a stock rear.
Best place to start is, where the rear end of the LCAs is JUST SLIGHTLY below the front (chassis) end. Something in the range of ½ to ¾" would be a great start point.
What you'll find is, if the rear (axle) bolt is too high, the car will wheel-hop ruthlessly, like stock, under acceleration. When the bolt is too low, it will hook up like pulling your teeth out under acceleration, but will wheel-hop unbelievably under braking (an OBVIOUS safety / life preservation malfunction). Ideal is where both are smooth and quiet, and present no problems.

450+- and up to 250 shot . So after I hook up the shocks ,track bar,torque arm, stabilizer bar, with all that connected, can I change the mounting point of the LCA on the relocation bracket
