I was also thinking bed bars would do a really good job at stiffening up the chassis and still give it room for my motorcycle.
Airbags are amazing. There are a lot of street racers that use airbags to drop their cars. They are more stable than one would think. The bed bars would also give you a mounting point for a bed cover. Have two hinges up front with removable pins and the whole thing would just lift off.
