Front & Rear Header Assemblies

Given the amount of side to side sway in the completely stripped interior it is becoming very apparent to me how much support the front and rear header systems actually provide to the upper shell.

It is also interesting that these header systems are roughly equi-distant apart. Roughly dividing the trailer shell into thirds, front part, middle part, back part. Maybe I build some kind of framing on top of the flooring (two pieces which will remain in place) to support the upper shell?
