154 xp on a 6 foot sled deck

[gdawg]

hey i was wondering if anyone out there has had there 154 or longer xp on a 6 foot sled deck and if its worked well. i have a new dodge short box 5'7 box so i want to go with a 6 foot deck so it doesnt stick out to far, and want to see if a 6 foot deck will work alright with the 154 thanks. sorry if this is in wrong thread.

A guy at work has a 6.5' deck. Lots of overhang, he ended up having to put a 2x6 under the track because there wasn't a whole lot of track on the deck.

i have a 7' deck with a 154" and my next deck will be 7'-6"

Yep, i have the 6' deck and there's tons of overhang. I ended up getting some 1/4" aluminum bent to hook under the inside 2"x2" & over the outside of the beaver tail. They're are the same width as the track 16" and stick out 18" from the back of the deck. I'll post some pictures when i get home in a couple days if you like. Works pretty good, but you have to lift the sled on to them once its loaded.

I have a 154 that I put on a 6 foot deck and had way too much overhang so I went with an extension now it works great and it is easy to take off the extension when not in use.It is a crosstrax deck.

Just get a short deck with a 2' removable extenstion for when you are not hauling sleds

Cross Trax sells a real nice deck with a 2 foot removeable extension. I use this with my 2010 Dodge shortbox and 154 xp. Works awesome, in the summertime with my quad I do not need the extension so I remove it. Works great for pulling a camper, no pinch points.
