Sled Stops question

[6.0superduty]

What is the average length of the sled stops that guys have in back of their trucks? I was thinking like 12". I am thinking about building some and was curious. Post some pics if you have them. Thanks

As long as the sled hits them before your truck u will be good. As far as the height of the stop it varies I built mine so it looked proportional. http://competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24236

Per the NTPA That must be 8" minimum.

I found this one written rule:

"Vertical bumpers are required to prevent the vehicle from
passing over the buckboard of the sled while backing up
to hook and unhook. Bumpers to extend a minimum of 8
inches vertically. Bumpers must be of rigid construction."


Perhaps take a look at the sled you hook to most, and build to that.

I don't recall the measurment but I think these were over kill at approx 18"

If you plan on keepin your factory tailgate make sure that they ar'nt so tall that they come in contact with it when it is dropped open. I've seen a couple of trucks at pulls with the tell tail sign.
