Keith,

I was headed in that direction, but I REALLY didn't want to do all that work AND lose space in my bed. If you look back in earlier posts you will find where an engineer here on the board gave me an idea on how to build all the cross bracing into the frame. All within the same plane of the top of the frame rail and no higher. Right now what you see is bed floor riding directly on frame rail and it lines up perfectly. I will pop the bed back off and build the frame out to properly support it.
