Yes, it will work that way but to make it look lesss bulky and at the same time be more structurally sound it might be better to use some rectangular tubing and build your kick up in a more conventional manner..... I'm not much on graphics but maybe this will give you an idea of what I mean.... _/ The bottom frame rail, then a piece of 2" x 4" rectangular tubing, or a straight section of spare frame rail going up at a near vertical angle, then the tail piece of the frame... 10 ga. boxing plates on the inside of the frame rail joints would make it plenty strong... The same method would work on the front kickup.
