It will flex alot.

Why not just run 2x3? It will be less work than doubling up on the 2x2 in the end, cleaner too.

There is a lot more going on than just running one or two or maybe some 2x3 instead. I have seen some sketchy stuff work, but I'm not a fan of any of it. Even on the Taco that we did with the 2 pieces of 2x3x.188 the chassis flexed a lot!

I didn't do a very good job at being clear in my above post but I meant 2x3 with the 3 inch side vertical, not horizontal. There should be room for it to fit under the cab like that.

2x3 run so that it is 3" tall would be fine.
