Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

[imdoo'n]

I have a deck on the back of my Dakota. it seems to handle the load ok, 2 sleds, gear gas and beer, plus my 350lb bud. I have lately been only tieing the back end of the sleds down. big dave just can't get up to the front to untie his sled(pussy). so how much clearance do I need from the bumper to the road(pavement). have been finding that tailgaters back off real fast at night going west past Banff. wonder if dave would get mad If asked him to leave the cheese puffs at home?

If your man bun wasn't so finally wrapped you would have seen that your beer is actually hard lemonade.

whats the best way to half a sled in the bed of a 2015 fi50 pulling a 14 ft trition, assuming you have two 174's and a 155

Got some 200 lb tie downs to strap the bad boys down, Will they hold on high speed corners?

The new Ford F-150's are rated for the old school 1500 lb steal decks, they recommend for owners to make the decks short and allow the 174" sleds too hang out the back,,, it prevents less tire wear up front, Ha.

One can make the deck with tall legs so you can put 2 big slip tanks of purple fuel under the deck,,, did I mention that we can use purple fuel in BC now that the feds are only looking for zebra mussels. LOL.

Its what I thought I over heard any-who.

One nice thing with the new fords being aluminum is a guy can weld his deck right into the the box!

That can be my get rich quick scheme! Permanent deck mounting in Ford half ton trucks. Will save weight and increase payload because there's no heavy bolts!
