And I appreciate the conversation. I love to learn, and get an understanding of why/why not

The flex I am referring to is in the frame, at the notch. With the weight of the rear half of the truck being supported behind the notch, it puts a lot of stress and leverage on the notch making it flex more than it would with different configurations. This can be minimized by extra bracing located in the correct places.

I wouldn't bother going with an 8" bag.
