    You got all the functionality right, except it's not called dock support. If I go to the part store tomorrow and ask for dock support, that won't pop up.

    Not sure what the actual name for it is then... That's what we call it in our company shop. Any good trailer repair shop should know exactly what its called if you show them a picture.
