Strengthening the spring plate support / Shock Towers !!!

All,

I am reading through our off road bible:
(BAJA BUGS & BUGGIES by Jeff Hibbard)...page 75-76.
If you don't have the book....GET IT ! 100% recommended !!!

I am looking at the gussets on the rear cast shock towers !
It explains that it strengthens the lower spring plate supports on the inside of the towers by adding 1/8 inch steal plate ! and it also mentions to add an additional 2 gussets to strengthen the tower !

Now I can see the logic behind this but my question to anyone out there is:

1. Has anyone done these mods ???
ANY PICS ???

2. Has anyone got a TRUE story to tell about damage to this Tower
ANY DAMAGE PICS !

I am going through some offroad mods at the moment and just want some convincing as to why I should add this weight !

PLEASE the more stories and PICS the better !

Thanks - James - manxdune
