Welded the bar stock on the bottom side of the tubing pieces standing on end. Find the sweet spot that balances the bed and makes lifting the bed off and on easy.

I did the same thing with my truck (fixture made from wood).
I got the idea from my dad: he had a fifth wheel hitch in his truck, so he would unbolt the box but leave the hitch in and pick it up via a pin in the hitch.
He would also use the same deal to remove the hitch itself when needed (obviously leaving the bed bolted down and unbolting the hitch).
