Let's make this one the catch-all for everything us crazy people do to the trailing arms, I know russ84na will chime in soon, but here's my second iteration in the meantime...
Keep in mind this is the process I follow, sometimes I have designs in parallel going through their own evolution, ultimately to see which one is more favourable in the most important ways
This method would allow over 2 degrees of camber correction
1. The backing plate is small and high strength, with pre-welded studs in a 30x44mm rectangle pattern
2. The mid-plate is the one that gets welded to the arm where it's cut off, the cutline being around 4.25" from the ends
3. The clamping plate is slotted perpendicular to the mid-plate to allow a second axis of movement
4. The turnbuckle provides up to 15mm of extension at either pivot, but the arm can be cut and welded to bias any length change
