I know a z cut would be better, but I'm trying not to pull the cab do to time and space. So I'd like to know if I'm overlooking anything by cutting this area out?

Take 12" out. That is the difference from the factory.
Working on the straight area of the frame under the cab can be done with the cab in place. Kevin Lewis (Rokcrln) did a great write up on the process.
The bed chop starts on pg 8 but what you are after starts on pg 11.
