Default "stiffer" rear end...

I was thinking the other day about what I have read on this site. One thing that stood out to me was that a few members noticed that the rear frame of their trucks seems to flex a lot in their opinions. I had planned on going with the hotchkis sway bars on this project truck but was thinking about the possibility of adding some mild steel tubing in the rear frame area to attempt to stiffen the rear section up more. I'll be pulling the bed off to do the fuel system and lowering kit anyways so that may be the perfect time to give it a try. What do you guys think?

p.s. anyone have pics of the frame without the bed on from above?
