Went out to the farm to grab it today. You sled will probably be longer and your truck it higher but this will give you a good idea.

Curious how long of ramp is that and approx how high is your deck? And can you actually make it up on the deck after stopping like that? Debating on whether or not to extend my ramp. My dodge is getting a 6" lift pretty quick, 35" tires, got a 8" ramp and beavertail so thinking I should add another 3' to the ramp?
The ramp is 10' and to the top of the deck is about 6'. Ill double check next time im outside.
Actually i can *****foot it up the ramp but you wouldnt want to go much faster or else you will have a cab-ordinment.

Ah that gives me a good idea thanks a lot, I better make mine longer. My deck is going to be about 5'9 up to and no way I want my ramp steepier then yours, i'd much longer have a 12' granny ramp
id say ur fine.. and is it just me or do trucks with decks on them look so much better??
ive been loading up sleds for 2 years on a lifted ford and the first year i had a 8 foot ramp with no sides and a 47 inch ski stance on a 46 inch wide ramp it was fun....
Went and measured it... Just shy of 5'10" to the top.
Better safe than sorry on the 12'.

Decks on lifted trucks
It just makes sense what sticky fingered Pr**K is going to carry a ladder to steal $*^^ your goods off your sled the bigger the better Mine is a Chevy 2500 6" lift and 35's and I hall a$$ to the mountains and really don't notice the sleds on the back I have and am a dealler for ToyUp industries and our decks come with a 10 foot ramp and load with ease on big trucks my builder has a Ford sitting on 38's and has no problem loading.
