I ordered a new truck as my 2011 dirtymax is over 200000km. I ordered a new one with a lift, and am wondering if I'll have issues loading. I have a marathon deck.

6 or 8ft box? with the longbox you at least have a substantially longer ramp. and how high of lift? sleds are pretty good they will go up damn near anything

Tufflift sled decks. Never worry about loading them again. I can get you a good deal on a brand new deck black powdercoated and with superglides installed. Shoot me a message.

I load mine on my deck its a duramax with a 6" lift and 35" tires. I have a marathon with the 10 foot ramp and it's not really a issue just got to carry a little more speed. Kinda a pain for fueling and unpractical for most situations but it looks cool! Lol!

The 12' ramp won't fit in the 6.5' box. I also have the bds 6.5 with 37's and its a little steep but you'll get used to it.

The only issue that happens when you put the deck on a lifted truck is it tends to make you wear White Oakleys!

Rode with a guy at airy creek in slocan valley, he had a 6" lift with 37" tires on his dodge shot box. It Was a marathon deck and a triple extendable ramp

No white oakleys for this guy lol.
There's been a few close calls where I've gave it a bit to much throttle.

I had my current deck on my old 04' ram 2500 with a 6" lift and 37" tires. Never had an issue with the ramp or loading/unloading. The airbags definitely helped keep things level though.
