Thanks for the reply!
Both of those things were something I had in mind but I was just trying to avoid having the deck any higher then it already is!
Do you have any pictures from the side of your truck just to see how high the deck sits??
I have a SnoPro sport deck and with the rails retracted to fit a 5.5' box the ramps when tucked away underneath are too long that they stick out and don't allow the tailgate to close! Anyone else have this issue and what was your fix??
