the front is longer cause suually the front of the frame is lower and after the rear the frame isnt as low. you could gusset up the welds at each meeting for extra strenth but if you bevel the edges of the notch pieces, the weld will penetrate better than a blunt edge. weld in notches are better option if you are building your own notch. once you cut your frame, your not going to remove any notch you install so why not weld it in

Bevel the edges.
