the square tube has eyes already to attach tie downs to. it extends out that far to accommodate the ramp and to give you leverage for the tie downs.

Thanks for the link Tim! Finally ordered after being on the fence for too long. I'll probably have to fab a longer ramp tho to get it on my truck lol

i use a 6"drop receiver, that works just fine for lowering the rack, also get yourself a couple of 6" turnbuckles with hooks on them. you can hook them from the tabs on the carrier to your chain loops on the truck, this will completely eliminate any movement in the carrier when your traveling. I will hook mine up and post a pic later today. Last edited by old kid; 05-18-2017 at 09:09 AM. |

just wanted to say after the 18,330 mile summer trip last year with one of the carriers i would whole heartedly endorse it. the only thing i found was to ratchet strap one side to the bottom of the bumper to get rid of any wiggle in the reciever.

I planned on buying a hitch carrier in the next few weeks.
I had myself talked into the Rage Powersports aluminum one from Summit for $129. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rrr-amc-400 But the one originally posted here is only $84 on Amazon. If you guys had $130 to spend, would you go the extra for aluminum or stick the steel one? All I would be carrying would be a Hawk and maybe a scooter for the kids.

Mine is steel, because it was fabricated out of an old bed frame. This allows me to weld on tie down points as needed for different bikes. I hauled it many times on the back of a Dodge Caravan and it worked great. If you care to get fancy with the design, you can use weld-on hinges to create a ramp; once the bike is in position, lift up and pin the ramp.
