I strongly disagree. They are not an open span of 2.75"of 1/8" sheetmetal like the OP's. They are closely gusseted as possible, and welded, granted not well. I think the OP at least, for all his other efforts here, should insure this bolted conection, almost the most single point that chassis forces are channeled thru, does not flex. I will later post a close up of the OEM area, but am sure most are familiar with it anyway.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
