    That was my thought also.

    The BT plate is AL, where it looks like the stock plate is steel. I guess you could make the case that AL flexes less than steel. However, you'd then also have to make the case that the factory plate is flexy under load.

    So ....................... can anyone show me that the factory plate flexes????

    The aluminum plate pictured about two posts back is not the real BT plate. It is the ebay knock-off. Personally I have the real BT plate and it made a world of difference when I installed it about a year ago.

    I thought the copy was identical except for paint.

    Here is a good picture that compares the stock plate to our BT Tech Stiffening Plate...

    We just received our newest batch of plates and are currently shipping all orders.
