Not a big deal to notch the cross member, you do have to cut about 2/3's of it. I have not had any problems with strength. It's a lot easier to mark the area and take the bed completey off though. The only reason I boxed mine was to minimize getting dirt and gunk into the crossmemeber and causing rust.
