If I build my next 4x4 project it will have a small flatbed on it. I like the way you have done yours, except I believe you should mount the bed a bit higher or bring outside of the bed in a bit. The "boatside" will be good but I am not sure it will give you enough clearance if you flex it out.

While you are at this point you might look at putting a blazer tank in the rear. If you raise the flat bed up you could mount the tank up higher and out of harms way.
