It's DEFINITELY considered part of the suspension / structure. You do NOT want to even lower the car into its wheels without that plate on, or you'll find lots of stuff moves, and it's harder to get it on again.

+ 1 if you remove the wheels before removing the aluminum triangle helps to remind you Not to lower the car without the support bracket.

uh oh... I don't remember tossing this, but I can't find it in the garage now.


BUT looking back on the pictures where I had the 4.3 in the car still I think I couldn't use it anyways. My trans bracing I made goes under the trany and would be in the way of this plate thingy. Its probably for the best though. I was concerned about my trans brace being less than secure. I guess I can fab up some bracing to secure it to each side subframes.



^^^ kinda like this.
