theres a point.. Max payload is 1360 lbs.. sleds+Deck = 1460 lbs roughly. (assuming the sled deck is 500lbs... which it is deffinately less) so thats 100 lbs over. thats something to consider.. Constructive comment!

This may not play within the legal realm, but that 1360 lbs is assumed to be placed in the bed, not elevated 2 ft above the bed.
I would think your load center in relation to wheelbase would be very, very questionable.
Furthermore, I think your estimate is light. I don't think you were considering
driver, passenger, gear, fluids in sleds etc.
This should've been my 1st response instead of a smart alec reply.
Sorry.

yea now that i think about it, my taco looks goofy with one in the bed, i would need to see two to try it. But 05TACOMA, when you do it send me pics please!
lol.... from the start i knew i was going to get flamed... i know it's more than iffy to push my truck this far.. but my issue is that where i ride, more importantly sleep after riding, there is only one space in the complex, and it is always full... there are no places to park a trailer, as this is the simplest route... soo that is why i am trying to push it.. otherwise it means buying a new truck which is what i will probably do now... Theres an old 1983 3/4 ton ford flat deck in my family with 75,000 Kms on it.. coult probably pick it up for close to 2K... I wanted to avoid this though because insuring two vehicles is a pain, and also with gas at 1.45$/ L up here in canada, and on the rise, fuel is a major consideration.. (and those 83' F250s do guzzle!!) ... but safety is more important than savin a few pennies... i guess that's the route i'll more than likely take.. Thanks for the opinions though, aha even if you did flame me.
cheers.
cheers.

You have to add driver, passenger, fuel in the tank, etc to the weight it is carrying to see how much payload you have left.
Sure you can throw a bunch of stuff on the truck to keep it more level or reduce sag, but that has nothing to do with increasing pay load. Your frame, rear end, etc etc all come into account when they figured how much weight you can carry.
I just got a picture from my son of a Tundra that they put massive overloads on and spring leaves and put a 1500# camper on it and loaded it up and cracked the frame.
It's your dime.
