When i purchased my 5.5 the previous owner had a nice little mast craddle set up on the mast ball
He took a 4" plumbing T and cut a whole in the top so he could slide in a bow vee stop
Then you tie the mast down to some thing so it can't bounce
worked great -

I trail with the mast track down and base forward
The mast rests on keel rollers which are mounted to mast supports for and aft that are attached directly to the trailer.
The forward support is high enough to keep the mast well above the tow vehicle.
The aft support has the mast right at head high( need to fix that! OW damn)
