AAAh. I basically just built a wooden ramp for it to slide up. It's wide enough that my crossbars fit inside of it, and I just push until it's on top. It definitely helps with one extra though.

It does, but my prinsu rack side rails are far from flush with the crossbars. When I mount the crossbars to the mounting rails of the tent, and tighten, It does not reach the side rail mounting holes for the crossbar to be threaded through. Its why I had to add an aluminium space on top of the crossbars, between the bar and the tent so that the bar would drop down enough to make up for the less than flush side rails and rack.
Basically, my "Flat rack" is anything but. Instead of being ______ front to back and side to side, it's concave like a bowl, so nothing sits perfectly flat. It has nothing to do with how I mounted the front feet either. That portion of the rack sits the flattest. The portion between the two stock rail mounting locations is terribly out of line. I had to use 6 or 7 washers just to get it as straight as I did.
I wish I had gone with a Frontrunner (Or SSO) like I originally intended, but I was swayed by the price point and the fact that everyone on here loved theirs. I'll never buy another CBI product after this, and I'll warn others from here on out with my experience.
