A vehicle rear-suspension bracket, comprising:

• a bracket having raised lateral portions, the bracket comprising:
• a top portion;
• and
• a frame portion;
• wherein:
• the frame portion curves substantially perpendicular downward from the top portion, and extends to a bottom of the bracket;
• the raised lateral portions comprising a first raised lateral portion and a second raised lateral portion,
• the first raised lateral portion and the second raised lateral portion create a lateral channel therebetween that extends an entire length of the bracket from the top portion of the bracket to the frame portion of the bracket,
• the first raised lateral portion and the second raised lateral portion corresponding to the frame portion are curved downward so as to be substantially perpendicular to the top portion of the bracket and are substantially flush to a frame of the vehicle, and
• the lateral channel corresponding to the frame portion opens at a lower end thereof in a state where the bracket is coupled to the frame,
• wherein the lateral channel extending through the length of the frame portion of the bracket creates a gap between a central portion of the bracket and the frame of the vehicle,
• wherein the first raised lateral portion corresponding to the frame portion is provided with a first upper hole and a first lower hole,
• wherein the second raised lateral portion corresponding to the frame portion is provided with a second upper hole and a second lower hole, and
• wherein, in a width direction of the lateral channel, a distance between the first lower hole and the second lower hole is less than a distance between the first upper hole and the second upper hole.
