Since you are planning on welding all the joints, I would recommend notching the cross bracing 1" leg where it meets the perimeter of the frame so all the axle holes will be the same height from the base plane. Also be aware of needed clearance to chains or belts (if you use them) and the bottom of your frame for clearance when transitioning from a ramp to a horizontal surface.
