Welcome from Central North Carolina. That is a very good example of a survivor truck and it looks great!

Welcome from Oregon!

You can put a 60 series tire on it and that will drop it some.
I looked into dropping mine when I first got it and it was going to be $1500 in parts to get the stuff needed for a 3/4 ton to get lower.
After that, I just decided to put a set of stock height tires on it and go from there.
We have a wide ramp that we can walk up next to the bike that helps...

Welcome!
How heavy are the bikes? Is it an option to remove a leaf or two to drop the rear a little bit? If you do need full load capacity, airbag helper springs could be a way to get a little lower when you want it, and gain full load capacity back when you need it.

Either way, beautiful truck and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

My bike is Buell XB12 (I love this bike)
You must be registered for see images attach


It's the only one in my garage (had to sold the other one) but I do plan to buy some more in the near future

For now I will keep the stock ride height on the truck and invest (or build) in a nicer ramp

Thanks you all for your feedback and kind words
