Custom Ramp Mount in Bed
I've got a 2015 Lariat, with boxlink. Looking for ways to get my snowmobile and snowmobile ramp into the bed comfortably. If the snowmobile is in, I can tuck the ramp on the side of the bed, and strap it in, but it still moves around and can scratch the sled and/or mark-up the ramp.
I've seen guys build wood "stands" to hold the ramp on the side of the bed, but was thinking of getting the 2x4 E Track bracket, cutting off the 2x4 holder, leaving me with only the E track mount, and welding a metal bracket/frame to the mounts so that they can be clipped into the boxlink.
Basically looking at making a custom metal framing, that has e track connections on it, that can clip into the boxlink, and hold my ramp along the side of the bed.
Has anyone done anything like this (pics?) or have any recommendations on how they cleanly store the ramp along the side of the bed?
It's a big sled, and a 5.5' bed, so space is at a premium back there. I'd like to get the framing made, then have it Line-Xd to match the bed.
Please share if you've got any cool setups for your ramps.
P.S...the Ford ATV ramp would not work for my sled. But now I'm wondering if the connections for it (how the ramp is held to the box link), might work? However, the ramp is 90" long, so doesn't fit in the bed with the tailgate up.

Looks like the Ford Ramp brackets that connect to the boxlink would be perfect...but...can't find just the brackets for sale. Looks like it's part of the whole kit, including the ramp for $370.

I had bought these a year ago, and didn't have any problems getting them at that time.

Would you mind checking your local dealer for me? Maybe supply is different for you guys in the states, I would gladly pay the shipping if it means I can get the part replaced lol
