Well, those are about a foot longer than my touring sleds and a couple hundred lbs lighter. So it sounds like one should fit.

My only reason for asking is that they are kept at our family cabin in WI and I might have to bring one back with me if I can't fix it on site. I'd prefer not to have to bring the trailer back too.

Picked up a ramp today, but I don't even want to think about how much fun deadloading the sled would be

Worked fine, the tailgate is pretty stiff - one of the cables is a little shorter and it had tension on it. Didn't flex the tailgate enough to make the other taught. And for those who want a leveling kit, you would need about 800lbs to make the truck level. This was only about 750 in the bed and when it was on level ground the back was still up a tad. Holds a load well.
