They look pretty good, but how far do they drop down from the axel, It doesn't look that far. other than that, they look good, esspecially because they are extruded, If I am not misatken, that is quite a bit stronger than they bending method.

From the center of the hole down to the surface you stand on is 2 5/8".
And yes extruded is a lot stronger than the bending method.

Nah man these look good, Im not a fan of long plates, they make me fall on my ass, But other wise they look like a slightly stronger design than Bed's.


The horisontal dimension just below the axle is longer that bedfords, thats a good thing, it makes it stronger.

I can drill a 3/8" or 14mm hole. The pic shows a 14mm drilled hole.

They are .25" thick and both plates together are 2 pounds 4 ounces. (2.25 pounds). They hold up very well.
