Well then I must be doing the right thing because that is exactly what I am doing. Mostly by accident, the only plate I had that was big enough was some 1/4 inch. I did the pass side this morning, drivers side tomorrow, did you gusset or put any extra reinforcement on, especially on the drivers side? There is one extra threaded hole on the drivers side that I will use as well. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.
