Another option is to do a backhalf, but you will end up having to raise the bed floor. There is another option, which is what I did. I cut the rear cross member and moved the frame rails out to match the rails in front of the notch. I basically made the frame wider behind the rear axle. This way you can use a generic notch kit and not have to deal with bending it to fit the rails.
