I used a similar 1/4" plate on the bottom as shown in your photo, and added another 1/4" plate on top of the floor. above the torsion bar cross-member. Sandwiched like that, it is very strong and doesn't flex.
I also fully welded the seams of the torsion bar cross-member to the floor pan, welded in a compete US Cartool Chassis Stiffening Kit and put in a partial roll-cage.
