Hi wjbell. What type of work do you do? The only problem I can think of with the tailgate at a 45 would be it completely coming off going over a big bump or pot hole at speed.
You could make an aero bed cover that fits between you boxes to help air flow over the bed. It could be a soft cover that starts at the top of your tool boxes up front and slopes down to the tail gate with snaps on the tail gate or simple strap set up.
Or it can be a hard cover also made to fit between your boxes. Starting just below your third brake light and going to the tailgate like the soft cover with 2 locking latches on the back of your tool boxes to keep it in place. When you need to use your bed for bulky items it could pivot up out of the way and store in the upright position with a 2 hooks on your ladder rack.
