Do i have to weld in steering reinforcement plate

I have a factory 4x4 steering box reinforcement plate that I'm going to be putting it. Can i just bolt it into the frame via the 6 bolts to the top and bottom of the rail and the 3 that go into the steering box?

I just por 15'd my frame and all, i'd rather not grind it off to weld it right now. thanks

If it were me, I would go ahead and weld it if you are into off roading.

Lol, well I only want to do this once so I figure I'll weld it in like the factory with bolts!
