I had a 98 step side s10 6ft bed for a long time. It never needed a bed extender just throw the logs in it and strap them down. I added a $60 pair of 1200lb air shocks to the back and loaded her up. The old girl hauled or entire wood supply for years then we got a trailer and it hauled logs and pulled a trailer. Just a little 2.2 L ! Through all that I never hurt the tailgate or anything else for that matter but the s10 did finally start showing age last winter and I had to sell it. We had it for 13 years.My advice would be to skip the rack for log length. I would just load the 8' logs, ratchet strap them down, and staple a red flag on the end. It seems that you may want tie downs anyway, so what is the benefit of the rack?
