I like a 20 foot flat on 6 and 8 ton running gears, and 18 foot deck if its a 5 ton gear. Mine are all spaced the same, 18 inches from the center of the front axle to the front of the flat, 4 feet from the center of the rear axle to the back of the tailgate.
For runners, or sills, I used to use 3x10 white oak but, when I started making some silage bales I broke a few 3x10s so I went to using 4x8 white oak. I like them a lot better.

I space the floor boards 3/4 of an inch apart to help keep the deck clean.
