No matter how robust a truck may be, its handling is effected by weight distribution, anything high up, and to the rear of the rear axle, with high side walls, gets real squirrelly in high winds and/or rough roads. Air ride does not help unless you have rear swaybars. A car lifter rail gate is heavy by itself, and unfortunately, all the weight is at the very rear, and above the floor. maybe in your conversion to a RV, you can add up front a cast iron bath tub for balance. biggrin

This load balance issue is very difficult to correct after the fact. The pictured truck already has significant rear overhang, IMO.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
