Lift doesn't affect what you can put on your tailgate or whether it will fit. Measure the length of your cart. If it's longer than the length of your bed, then you're not going to be able to fit it.
You might be able to get away with leaving your tailgate down and adding a bed extender, or adding an "extension" to your hitch receiver (if your cart is really that big). As far as the weight goes, I'd be surprised if it could sustain anything more than 300 lbs. You might want to call Ford and ask.
For the extension, check out Defiant Truck Products. Paul will fab up anything you want/need. He does an awesome job.

If it has to sit on the tailgate, back it in. Most of the weight is in the rear of the carts. I had to buy a hitch extension because the tailgate wouldn't close.
Putnam makes one for about $60.
