Most of the commercial flat beds I've seen are heavier then a stock pick up bed.
Me and my 12 year old son picked my bed up at the wheel wells and carried it back and put it on a picnic table just a few weeks ago. (tailgate was not on it)
So i don't understand the problem with flat beds. But then this is sled pulling, some idiot will put a piece of plywood down and call it a flat bed if ya let him.
Just offer to put weight over the rear if they question it and plead your case in a respectful quiet manner. Tech has the last say, so he is not the guy you want to piss off
