The transmissions are too low to the ground to allow you easily and legally mount bumpers to the side plates. I'd still recommend raising everything up to reduce your ground clearance.
Additionally, by removing the trapezoids from the side plates, you can add another flange along the length of their lower edge and make everything stiffer. Right now, the trapezoids do nothing but hurt you.
