Del Monte's Double Agent

[Snatch]

I really like these chassis,but my thoughts are: can you really feel it that it´s more rigid than before? Is it possible to be stiffer than stiff? You know what i mean?
Some people in Germany use 0,3mm Titan-Panels between the chassis to get it stiffer,but i don´t know if there is a big difference... we don´t use low-profile-tires,so there is always a little flex.And sometimes it´s not bad,so at least my thoughts.But of course,i can be wrong...

I noticed it more when the truck was caught in a hole or pushing the front end into or out of a bind. Everything seemed to react a lot more predictably and smoother. The chassis acts like a nice, positive stop now too. No more flexyness once the shocks bottom out.

I thought about notching the chassis plates, but it would mess up the adjustable shock arms. Once the braces are mounted, they don't move around at all.
