loading a bike into a lifted truck
#1
Well got a Kinda dumd question here but i got a lifted truck and loading and unloading my bike at the lot is a pain when theres no one else there. Wondering How you manage it cause someones gotta drive a lifted vehicle to. Biggest problem i got is my bike bottoms out on the headers. Any ideas to make this a little easier would be nice thanks

i've seen people park on hills, pull up on curbs....my truck isnt lifted but its not low like my old sonoma so i went out and got me a quad ramp....i have the same exact one below

home depot/lowes is your friend... i have a high truck bed and had the same problem so I got a 10ft piece of wood with this metal ramp attachment and it works like a charm. I also have a smaller 6 foot folding ramp for me to walk up when loading. You can also use a box to step on i suppose.

pull your front wheels up onto a curb and/or get a longer ramp

If you go my direction make sure you get some sort of flag for the end of the wood sticking out of the bed of the truck or the popo will ticket you... I use an old tie down strap that i just leave at the bottom with neon orange duct tape on the slack so it flaps around in the wind.

The curb trick is very helpful as well but with my long ramp its super easy.

I got a alum ramp that arches instead of just a straight ramp. My F250 has a 8" on it and i dont drag at all. I roll the bike up the arched ramp and i walk up another one. works perfect

Get a fold up 3-step ladder so you can walk next to it. I have this one for painting, but I've seen guys at the lot use this method and works fine. Cheap too!
