    Ok, so how do you tell the difference between a half and a full bolster? I've not delt with open trailers like that a whole lot.

    The design on it at the rear is more of a bumper per say. A full bolster will be flat on top, the sides taper down towards the center with a what I will call a support plate on the bottom
    I'm not near my trl right now or I would take a pic to show what I am trying to explain

    Makes sense now. We use to have a 60T Trailking that looked similar to how @skootertrashr6 trailer looks. I figured it would be something like that. I never pulled that trailer though.

    Meanwhile in CA, the 623s have gotten so long & heavy they have to turn them around to make weight. This pic came from Murray's facebook page I think. Don't think I could load and go in under 20 minutes this way........................

    It's already been well explained but here's mine.

    The first and second bolsters are trapezoid shaped and welded all the way around. The rear one is more of a piece of channel with a box welded on the back to protect the wiring.
