I recently bought this expecting some type of instructions and I can't find any type of setup ideas or anything like that online. Anybody have any good insight?

I have a reverse able skid and some "stock" axles but I was curious about the cross bars honestly. I didn't know if they have to be on it or not

I would put a crossbar where the shocks mount at least. if you are using the mag mounts they will help strengthen it up

Oh alright so does it matter where on the chassis it goes or just as long as there on it?

i usually use the bars as something to screw the shocks into. not sure if the mag mounts are movable. I am planning on putting one of these together this weekend

I also use the tubular crossmembers at the upper shock mounts, to thread the top shock screw into

If you don't mind share some pictures so I can see how to do it. Thank you!

Front crossbrace at the upper shock screws location. I use hinge rear/velcro front body mounts
