I tried it and it fit. I have air bags to help the springs carry the weight and stay level. I do not think I was over GVWR so I was ok there well at 1100 pounds wet I might have been pushing it. I did have the rear tires on the tailgate. I did not have any planks to put down but the tail gate held and no harm was done.

Any body else done it? THe ole GMC keeps on surprising me.

You have more nerve than I. I brought mine home on my 5x8 trailer and after that experience went out and bought a 6x12.

I can't remember if it was a Rhino or Ranger but I saw one in the back of a truck and it was about a foot and a half too long to close the tailgate. I'd be afraid of the tail gate straps giving out but I'm sure glad they didn't. Post some pics if you can

Was not that bad. I would not want to make extreme maneuvers with it like that though. We had wood infront of the tires to keep it away from the front of the bed which has been bowed before.

UGLY88, You have more nerve than I. Do you use a 2x12 board or anything to keep some of the weight off of your tailgate?

Not on that trip, but from now on I plan on it.
