I'm going to figure some thing out for the snubber plate, I doubt any one makes it.

I don't recall seeing anything different on my Hemi's for a snubber plate?  :notsure:

The E Body Hemi snubber plates are available too.

RestoRick sells them along with the spring plates.

Yes, that's the snubber plate.
I have one, but I didn't weld it on yet.
Someone makes them.
I was thinking I got mine from Scott at Harms. That was quite a while ago though, and it makes sense that Resto Rick would have them.  Scott stopped carrying several of the items that Domingo makes, and Rick carries most of them now.

I know Scott is a forum member here.
Have Rick & Domingo joined yet?

Can the spring plate reinforcements still be installed​ with rear torque boxes on the car?

If I remember correctly, the square washers under the bump stop are supposed to be painted yellow, and their purpose is to space the bumper upward to allow less suspension travel before hitting the bump stop. 
Less suspension travel was desired due to larger diameter tires.

Yes. Torque box and plates were a standard option.

I mean that my car already has torque boxes installed, and I'm wondering if it's possible to install the spring plates through the torque box opening.

I will let you know this week when I get my plates. The front plates were tack welded for additional strength.

@Brads70  alright, I went and looked under the car to see if it was there and sure enough it was.  Here's what the Hemi snubber plate looks like.  Not the prettiest welds, but I think they are factory.
