alright heres mine..
![](http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm164/mikeschino/0808092052a.jpg)
made from 1/4 and 3/16 plate. fully welded in front and back side with the inner portion being filled also. now i cant remember if its 3/16 on sides and 1/4 around the notch part or vise versa. works great though and was much needed. my frame was mushroomed out and had welds on the bed sides break from the flexing.

i plan on using 5/16'' on all of mine... and making the side parts extend further out. and driling 1/2 holes so i can weld in parts of the plate.. more strength the better.

Hitting the bed?
I'm not sure how you're hitting the bed without a notch. Maybe because of your smaller wheel/tire combo since I am on the stock 20s and am not haveing a problem.
My friend who went 6/9 had to cut his bed support over the axle pumpkin because it was hitting but that was it but he is lower and has a notch.
