good try but i think you would lose alot of room in cab for that. i do like the design now maybe if the bars protruded thru the cab but under the window and down thru bed. if you find out let us know

Is there a set angle on the bars that will be going behind the cab?

I was kinda thinking the same thing. However what do I know I'm just a dumb trans builder. I would probably contact someone who does cages for a living. Good luck, Vince.
