To support the box.Bumper yes.
Frame ? For what load ?
The floor boards run parallel to the truck frame. The floor crossmember run parallel to the axle. Each floor crossmember needs to supported solidly, this is usually accomplished by the box subframe, a wood strip and the truck frame.I understand about supporting the box.
Not trying to be a problem but 80% for the box is on a frame. And this is where the load is. I can see a light sub frame but ?
So if it was cut what would be carrying the weight / load ? In this case the walls become the carrier. With this being a sleeping area it would be low load. Even with my fat a$$.
In doing the math the part that would be cut away would only be 225 -315 lbs at the max.
With that in mind a light sub frame should be able to handle the load and give the bumper something to push on.
Also the bumper needs to be able to retract for off road use.
