That's hard to say but the ramps part # EM07473 are 84 inches long. So what you can do to get an idea is find a tape measure that can go out 84 inches and set one end of it at the rear tailgate edge when at that length and the other on the ground. That will tell you what angle the ramp would be at and if your deck would clear.

The part # EM07486 is 90 inches long and is arched which means that it will have a smoother transition angle from the ramp to the truck bed. This would probably be your best option.
