Those truckboss decks are pretty nice and pricey! I don't think I want to have my 1700 pound sxs way up high like that though.
Two sleds no problem but just could see an accident waiting to happen eventually.

My little trail is around 1300lbs. Stays up there quite nice. Never had any issues with it being tippy. Guess a guy could take the box off and mount a truck boss to the truck frame.

I carried two full sized quads on a steel deck I built for years. I figured between the quads and the deck there was about 1500 pounds above the box rail. I also carried about another 1K in stuff in the box under the deck plus the trailer on behind. I never had a problem behind my SRW F350, and I doubt that you’d have a problem with any leaf sprung 1ton. From what I’ve read, the Fiat 3/4 tons with the coils can get a bit wiggly, and you’d have to be careful with any 3/4 ton being over the rear axle rating. It’s not that the truck can’t handle the weight, just that if the truck nazis scaled you with a 3/4 ton you might be overloaded.

My buddy has a newer Dodge power wagon with the rear coils , and with one it's here and there and with 2 it sucks balls I guess ( scary bad lol)
