Here's a crude drawing that I made almost 10 years ago.
It's been a long time and I don't completely remember the details, but I think that on mine they cut the front part of the frame off where it began to angle in (the entire capital A in this drawing) and replaced it with a box shape to better support the front end of the trailer.
In this drawing, the red line in the capital A on the tongue is the front sleeper wall. The two sides (and cargo area) were unsupported. The fix made it so that the entire outline of the walls was supported by that red box area.
It's a shame that all those Photobucket pics are gone. I think some of them showed a series of outrigger gussets that were welded underneath.
