Buckshot,

Thanks for the reply. Guess I didn't call your name loud enough to get your attention earlier laugh .

Anyway, I hear what you are saying about plate thickness. 1/4" is prolly the way to go, since a little overkill in this area can be a blessing down the road. I thought about tapping the holes to accept the bracket bolts, but maybe the easiest way would be to weld some nuts on the back. That would get me out of the PITA you described, plus I know I will be picking up plenty of threads for the bolts. Then I'd just have to drill clearance holes in the plate, hence no bolt alignment troubles.

How long did you cut your 1-1/2" plate? I just wish I had my head under my car right now to get some measurements. A lift sure would be nice laugh .

Also, what brackets did you go with? I see Energy Suspension makes some zirc'ed poly bushings that would prolly do the trick.
