The fit seems kind of sloppy

I noted that on the 1st pair of plates acquired (from AirRide Technologies) so that's been a day or so ago. Since then, I've made my own & build them to better follow the contour/bend. I basically 'score' a line in the plate w/a cut-off disc where I want the bend. Bend or draw the plate to better follow the contour then run a bead down it & clean it up w/a flap disc on the angle grinder.
Some plates I've seen are shorter & don't make it to the area of the curve so it just depends on the plates. Either works.
I get the plates bolted in place on the outside perimeter of the x-member. Then get the lower arm w/bag bolted in place. This allows the bag to be optimally placed in the a-arm pocket/area. Then I use a template that's reference marked from the bag for the orientation of the top mounting hardware hole locations.
