    When I was looking last fall, the only other 29' wells I found were 50t stretches and we're not set up for a 4th axle closed or 3+1

    That's what I am finding, and truck papers site sucks for narrowing down the search, they need more options to choose to filter out what you don't want.

    As much as I dislike XL, I looked at the new model they had at the Dallas truck show last year and it looked pretty decent. 55 ton 3+1 or 4 in a row 33 feet in the well with an 18 inch deck height. It looked like a pretty nice trailer but the price on if was around 150 new with a booster.

    As for the difference in a booster and a stinger there isn't one just different names for the same piece.
