6ft neck is too short, all the newer stuff is 8ft.

With a 5ft beavertail, that only leaves 17ft of deck space, way too short in my opinion. Want more like 22-25 feet of deck to center wieght better.

If you go with a shorter beavertail than 5ft, even 4ft, becomes too steep to comfortable load, even if you do a pierced beam design. 4 ft sounds like enough, but it isn't when you are 34" off the ground

Those are heavy axles for that short a trailer, if you use the 2/3 rule, you will lift the back of the pickup off the ground if you load anything heavy up the ramps
