I have seen many trailers manufactured just like that
Jacks at rear of trailer to eliminate "dip" when loading tractor?

Don't take the side boards all the way to the rear, Or some fancy cutting.

I don't have "braces" for the rear of any of my trailers but have been intending to put some on my dump trailer so when dumping the rear axle doesn't take too much load. I bent the original rear axle and replaced it. Trailer wasn't overloaded but when dumping the rear axle was. I was thinking telescopic tubes with a "big foot" on the bottom and holes with a pin to allow adjusting for uneven ground. I sometimes haul my tractor in the dump trailer and nearly raise the pickup into the air when loading/unloading.

If, and that is a pretty far stretch, I need to put sideboards on this trailer, I would simply build a rear section that would pin to the main section, (or kill it off at the dovetail). I already have a custom built tandem axle steel solid sided trailer (12') with a removable tailgate and a separate drop gate that I use for carrying "stuff". This trailer is for my tractor and things that are better loaded sans sideboards.

Me too, but my trailer's pockets, dovetail or otherwise are vertical. I have seen some with slanted dovetail pockets but have no clue as to any advantage. I just thought it was dumb.
