These aren't Gonna bend at least not with my use out here with the lack of trails. They are made out of 1/4" then put up right against the stock rockers. Im probably just going to weld the brackets on to the frame not the body it's self

It's not a spool... When your in 2wd it drives like an open axle. It's not always locked and it ratchets around turns so you don't drag a tire.
