    this question may sound crazy,however,why do some plates have alumium one inch sides and others have none?

    Hopefully to prevent Bending/Warping of the Ride Plate .....

    The angle bar helps keep the plate from bending and flexing.

    Amen!
    If you look at this plate here, you can see where its warped. The rideplate does the same thing but in the middle....

    I'm pretty sure those flatties set the plate like that for a reason.

    yeah, it takes a long time to get the plates dialed in on flat, every one being different.
