Under side of the front X. Again, this was fabricated intentionally twisted. A triangle is the strongest geometric shape. When using it in fabrication with multiple triangles it can not only withstand forces against the plane of the triangles, it can restrain from any forces - including torsion - against the assembly. So by fabricating with a pre-set twist it is the key to leveling the loaded trailer.
