Sled deck heights

[altaredneck]

Just curious what there is for different deck heights for box clearance. Looked at a marlon today and its legs were 20.5 inches tall. Just bought a gmc 3500 dually and my box rail heights are 24.5 inch. So just wondering if they make them different heights and if so brands to look for. I am looking for something reasonably priced too easier to tell wife about it. If someone has a deck for sale around calgary maybe I could look at it aswell. Sorry truck is also a long box. Thx

I put in a thick rubber mat and have the deck on pieces of wood in my chevy to lift it up tall enough for my Crosstrax deck & extension piece. I'm new to the sled deck game, but I'd assume if you bought new off of a manufacturer they would make it specifically to fit your truck.

My gmc is only 21.5 to top? And my new ford is 20 even. the marlon on my gmc with a 2x4 shim under each leg fits snug to the box rail tops.

We have in stock the new Super Decks by Bulldog. By far the best deck I have seen, and very reasonably priced. If your interested give us a call and I will gladly grab you a height measurement. http://reddeer.kijiji.ca/c-ViewAd?AdId=569118887

Bought a Marathon truck boss couple months back.. Mounts on the truck box rails but comes with height adjustable support legs to mount front (2) and back (2).. Works awesome..

Can you order the decks with different length legs to accommodate depth of box? 2"X4" to block it up doesn't sound ideal.. Damn thing would split with my luck and slam the deck onto my box..

Pretty sure any new deck would come in different heights to fit different boxes.But I've also been wrong before.

Mine sits on a 2inch block..Was told its cushions the feet so to speak .plus it lifts it up so my beer cooler and generator will fit under the ramp.

your wrong.

LOL

but actually cross trax will adjust the leg length to whatever you want if your having one built and not buying one already made

That's right.. I talked to Cross-trax back in the fall and they asked how i wanted to the deck to sit - right tight to the box rails or raise it up a bit so i have more room under the ramp for storage. Like you said Maxwell, that was on a new build.. I bought my Marathon 2nd hand on kijiji and its my first deck so didn't look to hard at the other brands.

Yeah I feel like an idiot. Measured again and it's about 22 inches just shy
