Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

[Lem Lamb]

Add liquid balancing to fluid to front tires...

She be good to go...

And it looks like there is still room on the truck for another 1000 lbs easy,,, at least 14 to 16" of bumper before its dragging on the road... Ha

ahh touche, but that is a 1/2 ton....more fonefiddys in this thread then decks. It's proper thread title should be "Sled Deck on F-150" So It's allowed, carry on!

It probably has airbags though.

Seems to me the question is "Does the installation of this SXS carrier make it handle any worse?"

Saw one like this with a Maverick on top and a bumper pull ~30ft camper behind it. Could almost see the gap under the front tires.

Saw a half ton Dodge, new enough to have the coil spring suspension, pulling about a 35’ living quarters fifth wheel horse trailer down Stoney Trail. Massive pin weight on those trailers and grossly overloaded on a halfer for sure. Front tires were definitely unloaded if not coming off the pavement and the hitch physically made contact with the ground a few times in the time I was around it. Scary what people think is okay.

Ha I wonder if he stole it. You would think the owner of a trailer like that would have a proper sized truck for it

think i'd be worried about the overhang on the front, over time ... That's a lot of overhang past the front main support for aluminum... Jus sayin

[Lem Lamb]

Good times for sure...

Load heavy and pin-it...

Hey do any of you guys have a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.5 box and a deck on it?

 

[Lem Lamb]

No,,, GMC's are exempt from this challenge unless they have F 150 scratched onto the side panels with a screw driver...

And who would want to drive around in a GMC with 2 sleds on a deck,,, lol

This is Ford country,,, the open road,,, packing heavy,,, and driving East across Saskatchewan looking for mountains...

Flat mountains that is... Ha
