I think the body is pretty solid right there (high loads in that area) and so is the spring plate. I think you are mostly wedging where the outer tube is welded to the chassis and the bending moment on the spring plate shouldn't be that bad if you stay close to the torsion bar tube. But, your call. It worked great for me and mine was stuck pretty good. no dents. I didn't even worry about it. you could also try to wedge both sides so the whole assembly doesn't get off axis and the load is distributed better.
