I like this alot! How do you have it anchored in to the bed? I've thought about doing this instead of buying a larger flat bed but dont know how a Polaris Ranger 800XP will feel back there.
truck rack build.

Here's another version of a SxS/ATV/Snowmobile Deck
Ramp width expands or contracts to suit whatever you're loading. Holds 2 snowmobiles or atv's side by side (sides fold down). Black material on ramp is combination ski slide and grip surface for tires. Ducktail (bed extention) for SxS comes off with 2 bolts. Ramp stores in center under bed in locked compartment. Suprisingly not that much more than aluminum sled deck and much better handling. Bed also includes 5th wheel hitch. BTW bed comes with provisions for tying down front wheels on 3 motorcycles side by side.

havent had it on the road yet but I would guess it would be close to a cabover camper weigh's less but higher center of gravity so it might equal out...
If I were to put airbags on this set up. I would go with the outboard ones that mount over the spring packs. Instead of the ones that mount under the frame.
That will give you more stabilty. Much better handeling on my slide in camper.

I was originally wanting one like Crowdogs but I have been thinking about it I decided this type would be best. I like having the SXS lower and the bed could have lots of built in storage. Someone needs to build one! I've been searching for month's. I might have to break down and build my own for my F350 Dually.Here's another version of a SxS/ATV/Snowmobile Deck

that's nice...... I'm gonna look for some nice ramps on the links sent, might be building another one cause some guy seen mine at gas station and is interested in buying it..... joshuabuilt fab is open...lol NOT but that would be nice to sell this one a take what I learned building it and do the next one better
those look like they would be perfect and are only about 50$ cheaper than I can make them for might be getting them!!!! thanks,
have you personally seen them in use. do they flex cause the can am is heavy.
Those look like the same ramps that I have and they work fine. I have carried a few Teryx, RZR S, RZR XP, Commander and even a John Deere Gator.
