Default Loading Rocker C into the back of a pickup

Greetings,
&nbsp\\;
In a few weeks I'll be needing to take my Rocker C in to have the side-mount license plate bracket that is being made as we speak installed along with the rear fender holes filled and painted. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a 8' bed on it. With the Rocker C being so low to the ground, can you ride it up a ramp into the back of the truck without it scraping or damaging the tailgate? I really&nbsp\\;don't want to have to rent a trailer unless I absolutely have to.

I have loaded up my rocker in the back of my 08 Toyota Tundra, with 6 foot ramps into a 6 1/2 foot bed I just had to back up to a driveway or a small hill, I didn't have any problem with bottoming out, and I had no trouble finding places to load and unload. Plus I live in Saskatchewan Canada, it doesn't get any flatter than here and I found lots of places to back up to.

Small ditches work well too. The neighbor has one and it's perfect for loading&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;my bikes. I'm sure you already know this but leave some travel in the front forks when you tie it down.

On another note: why do my posts get changed when I post my message I get lots of \\\\\\ and \\;\\;\\;

back the truck into a ditch somewhere if possible. Las time i loaded my bike I found a loading dock and used that. I have an 8ft ramp up to my f-150 and my bike will drag the center if I try and load it up on flat ground.
