Thanks Travis,

I wasn't gonna take the 4x4 forum guys word, and they tend to drive their trucks harder (on average) than we do, though we have a few exceptions, eh Joe?

Re: Replacement parts for Carson STN-L3 trailer...

I just saw the smaller PQ-12 units, 20mm throw (even has limit-switches!) at $65 - they might do the trick.

Re: Frame catwalk material.

I found the generic equivalent: its medical bracing/splint material. I got a 12" x 3.75" section for $2.10, locally (rolled gently). If that's enough width/length-wise, its a good buy. But...
