The ramp you launch from will play a huge factor in this equation so don't leave out that detail.
If it's steep and deep, things will be much simpler than if it's long and shallow.

The issue I had when I had a 8" lift on F250 was its higher than any beach cart or shop stand. If you drop it down then the ski is in the line of fire for all the road debris coming off the tires.

I bought a Hitch hauler from someone on here that is on a adjustable drop hitch. I can run it on my Ram 2500 with 37's and on my low suv because I can flip it.
I used to use mine with my SN and it would catch a lot of crap from my tires, but my new ski has a nice paint job so I am looking at removable mud flaps. The tires on my truck are kinda wide, I think I am going back to the thinner size toyo mt. I haven't had an issue with 6" lift and 35s with beach carts or launching but I could see how 8" with 37s could be tricky at times.

That's the problem. Where we launch its long and shallow. I can just drive in further but would rather not

What about using a Switch Hauler and adding/bolting bunks to it?

I actually just posted about this in another thread, I have a Super Duty with 6" lift and 37's. I just bought one of these on Amazon, should have it this weekend, I will post my thoughts. I liked the additional angle supports welded to this one rather than just the typical 90 degree welds.

That switch hauler gets my vote. Never seen that before.
Just to update this thread, I used the above mentioned drop assembly a handful of times in the past week and it does the trick nicely. There is a slight bit more play obviously from doubling up receivers but the turnbuckle setup on my hauler works well at removing a good amount of the slop by tightening the hauler to the hitch itself.

I build an adjustable carrier that has 10" of up travel and 11" of down travel . I build them in both the standard carrier and also one that you can tow another trailer behind.
