I have seen lots of trucks done that way. Keep in mind your tail gate will be a real PIA to keep clean. Your not pushing that much fuel right now but if you step up, it will suck.

I have to wax my tailgate every time I wash the truck, just to keep up with the soot and oil stains.

I did it for a short time. I hated it. Soot gets everywhere,also the bed acts like a resonator, gets really loud in the cab.

Just get a larger tip. It will be easier to keep clean, and it won't be as loud. Since it don't have anything to echo off of.
