Im not sure I would add cable because they will be bolted to the frame around the door. That's where you might run into problems. I don't think the stock door frame will support it and may twist.
Just my thoughts.

For what its worth, I was initially interested in a 2012 Raptor Velocity with out the rear patio option (reinforced ramp and patio rails). Later decided I would like to have that option, Dealer called Keystone and was told that the rear patio is not a dealer installed option, basically Factory Installed Only. Went to another Dealer and purchased an in stock 2013 with rear patio option. I would assume that at a minimum the frame is stronger and had heard that they also did something the strengthen the patio floor. If I recall the rear patio has a max capacity of 1500 LBs.
