GEAR GUIDE Bolt-on trailer side skirt Utility Trailer's USS-120A side skirt is securely bolted by a spring attachment to the support leg wing plate, which allows the forward edge of the material to engage the slip joint. For durability, galvanized high-tensile steel braces connected to the side skirt's cross members have been moved up by 5.75 inches, which allows the product to bend and flex more freely on impact.
