Seems that maybe with all the pics Billy & Kat put up, plus the ones from my gallery...
...you may have all the "food for thought" ya need.
I have a 1.25 inch square tube running along the seam..
..and 4.5 x 1.5 'girder' (:p ) under outboard edge..sticking out about 2 inches.
Tube and girder are joined at 3 points with 1.25 tube..
...and the whole assembly is welded to frame in 3 places
with gusseted 1.25 tube.
I would think an additional step hoop welded to the outside edge ( of girder, or tube rail as on Kats )
and angled up as much as possible for clearance would provide a solution for both you and your better half desires!
I'll get other pics of mine if you need them...just let me know.
