1. A disk drive suspension comprising: a baseplate, the baseplate including:
a receiving space at a distal end configured to mate with a spring of a load beam, the receiving space partially extends a length of the baseplate;
a swage hub at a proximal end, the proximal end is opposite the distal end;
an indented surface surrounding the swage hub, the indented surface is at least partially defined by a baseplate support section; and
a first rail extending along a first side of the baseplate and a second rail extending along a second side of the baseplate substantially in parallel with the first rail, wherein the first rail and the second rail each include a first end terminating at the distal end of the baseplate and a second end terminating at the proximal end of the baseplate, wherein the first rail and the second rail each include a first surface extending upward away from the baseplate and a flange that comprises a surface of the first rail and the second rail that extends away from the baseplate and is perpendicular to the first surface.
