Ol' Eagle-eye Gallus spotted a definite problem. They need to have used 1/2" plate, not 1/4". Those will DEFINITELY bend with even light use, unless you don't tighten your U-bolts to spec, which would NOT be recommended esp. in the front. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Ax me how I learnt this one... They should warranty both the spring hanger braces and the U-bolt plates IMHO. I would if it were me at least. I see the U-bolt itself is bent (outboard passenger). Those U-bolts should be 5/8s as well IMHO, though if they are at least 9/16s they would probably work with a better plate.
