I see a problem besides not having a steep enough angle for dumping dirt is the back end of your dump needs to be at the end of the pivot.
I have repaired many homemade dumps because the very back is past the pivot point of the dump. The entire load may get hung up and rest on the overhang bending the frame of the overhang.
The frame does need to be beefed up that is for sure, I have to add some bracing to mine when I can get around to it.
