Bunk Brackets That Attach to the Trailer Frame Instead of Cross Members

Question

Question:

Are there any other options? The brackets shown attach to the cross members I need brackets that attach to the frame. They are completely different. I have the same ones that the other person pictured.

I do have an option for you but we do not carry the style bracket pictured in the photo. The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assembly - Galvanized Steel part # CE10000G can be attached to the frame with U-bolts instead of the cross members and their swivel features allows you to tilt the bunk board.
