Looking to put a 400 and 2 80s on a ladder rack on my full size dodge, so i can still tow my trailer. Anybody done this, how but some info???????

 

I have one of these. www.ultimateatvracks.com.

 

can't find the site, but if it's the 1 that sits in the back of the bed-thats not it. Looking for a full 15' ladder rack type system that 2 will sit over the bed and 1 over the crew cab.

 

I VERY seriously doubt that would be a good idea, unless your driving in a straight line from where you load to where you unload. You would probably be very top heavy.
Actually the two 80's probably wouldn't be too bad. I don't think it'd be too hard to fabricate something where you drive the big bike in the bed, and put the two 80's over the big bike.

 

Iv'e seen a few around, but haven't talked to the owners. Total weight of the quads would be 8-900 lbs. I can't se any difference from this than carry pipe or lumber. My old co truck carried 3-4 x that with gluelambs and rebar many times.

 

look at "confusedbuyer"'s profile.
he has a pretty cool setup.
There are a few other folks on here that have that kind of rack.

Does your Dodge have a long bed????
If so, and If you just have 1 fullsize quad, and the 2 80's....
You should be able to fit them all on one rack over your bed.
pull the full size one on sideway, the pull the two 80's on side by side, facing front to back.

If you know somebody that can weld for you, they are pretty easy to make, and not very expensive.


Good Luck

 

The folks have the 'ladder rack' lookin' one from www.atvcarrier.com
They use it to haul an AC 500 TRV (the two-seater) and a Yami Bear Tracker 250 on their '03 F250.
Seems to be a decent system. At least it's a good start. It needs some fine-tuning though.
Be aware that ramps are extra. It comes with the ramp that gets you from bed level up to cab level, but not from ground level to bed level.

 

Mine is for sale. I have the short bed model. http://www.atvramps.com/atvrack.htm

 

quad 4 fun, confused system was another thought. I sthere a way to pm him to get more info.

thanks scott
