No need for any notching, and you don't want the 2x4 that close to the lift arm - it would be in the way of accessing the bolts. Unless you like the idea of a quarter turn at a time on a bolt.... And you want the 2x4 perpendicular to the bottom of the upper shell, not "in the bottom" of the shell. Just in case you actually meant to put the end of the 2x4 up inside the shell..... the 2" sides should be towards the TM wall and facing out, the 4" sides should be facing forward and back. I suppose you could make a slight notch for the entire width of the shell wall to sit down into the end of the 2x4 a small amount though.
