Rob, 

I bought a set of recessed plates from Scout M.A.D. ness. I love all of them except the passenger front. Because of the diff, I had to use 1/2" u-bolt on the inboard side and the un-gusseted (is that a word) thing bent while trying to torque it down. We'll see how it holds up. The other 3 are top drawer, and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Just MHO, YMMV,
