Assuming he has no gear or fuel in the atv, that's 2100 lbs just for the atv and ramp. Probably another 200 lbs in ramps to unload the atv from the main ramp. Still seems sketchy to me.
You don't need a PhD in Physics to understand that much weight that high off the ground is going to be more than a bit tipsy. A dually would help a bit as it's stance is wider but I don't think I would risk my truck much less my life with that type of setup. Most especially while towing a bumper pull which tends to be squirrely to start with.

Can it be done, Yes. Can it be done and be confident you are operating a safe vehicle? If you answer yes to that do me a favor and always stay BEHIND ME on the highway!
