To give you an idea, just measure from the tip of your skis back to 5.5' and that's how much will be riding in the bed, and then another 1.5' or whatever your tailgate measures, and the remainder will be hanging out the back.
My only concern would be if the tailgate supports can handle the weight and if the tailgate itself is strong enough to resist bowing permanently in the middle due to the weight. I think loading will temporarily put the most weight in the middle.
I'm not sure if my GM 6.5 tailgate comes with a slight bow, but it has one now. Not sure if it was from hauling a M8 163. I never gave it much thought till I saw how much sled was hanging over, then I started to worry about the weight on the middle of the gate.
