Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you mean (8" X 24") 8 x 24 (feet or inches?) Double quote is inches. Single quote is feet.
If inches, that's pretty small, only 8 inches by 2 feet? But, 8 feet wide by 24 feet long, that's pretty big?
The dimensions of length and width are not so critical. However, (if 8 x 24 feet) and you have to access under the floor, you may have a challenge removing the box (which may never happen).
I'd be more concerned about how "deep" the box is. You need to make sure you have enough clearance between the bottom of the box and the road so you won't drag it. So it really depends upon how "deep" you make it.
Your idea should work, I don't see any reason why it should not. It looks like you already have a storage container under there. If you go with the same depth, I don't think you'll have any problems. with either ... 8 x 24 inches or 8 x 24 feet!
The box will be 8 inches tall by 24 inches wide by approximately 8 feet deep. So basically from the side view it will extend down 8 inches from the frame (approximately the same depth as the other storage mounted there) and be 24 inches wide as shown in the yellow square on the picture I posted. It will also extend across the 5er and be accessible from either side hence the 8 feet.
