[QUOTE="mferriter, post: 1069108, member: 19644"] First of all - this is an awesome idea. I think it will add considerable strength to the rear subframe under load. However - I love to make things more complicated and suggest additional work for other people (I've made a career out of it for 25 years so far). I think you could make it even stiffer by adding triangular gussets to each side of the plate. There would be an extremely low tendency for the stiffener plate to bend under high load conditions. Something like this (sorry about the quality - too much caffeine this morning): [IMG]https://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af117/mferriter/gussettedplate_zps454637ef.jpg[/IMG] Or this (from Grainger): [IMG]https://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af117/mferriter/Gussetcorner2_zpsa77752d2.jpg[/IMG] Or this from Amazon Supply [IMG]https://i999.photobucket.com/albums/af117/mferriter/Gussetcorner_zps83fec059.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
