Well I had to tow a UHaul trailer and get my DRZ where I was going at the same time and ended up running out of room in the trailer and also had nowhere to tie the bike down inside the trailer anyways so i used the hitch rack I made for the rear up front. I had to drill a vertical hole in the hitch mount thingy but other than that it worked out well. I did end up getting where I was going after dark and my headlights were blocked ALOT but it was all freeway and I made it to where I was going :).
Its fine during the day and I got a LOT of looks hahaha.

Weld Evo wheels. Be ready to spend some money!! The truck looks killer. For some reason I can't stop thinking about the Beverly Hillbilly's:giggling:

I assume you mean lift and I'll answer you as soon as you tell me what you do to afford that stable of vehicles! :D

Looks good.
What brand of carrier is that?
What is the rated capacity?
I need to figure out how to transport my HP2 on the SUT.
It weighs about 450 lbs.

Your rig looks great. That is a perfect proportion of rim tire and lift.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I am very happy with the way the lift/wheel/tire combo worked out. I knew what I wanted for it before I even bought my H2. :)

Htothe2 - I don't have more pictures handy but can take some if you want them.
Vettster - I built it myself. I tried to use one that a buddy of mine bought one time in the back and when I put my bike on it, it wobbled sooooo much I didn't even bother trying. So, I built one myself that would be more stable and it worked out. I don't know what the rated capacity would be but it holds my DRZ just peachy! :)

Astar I really like your setup, please post more pics.

Thanks, if I remember correctly the wheels were about 540 ea and the tires are about 450-500 each.
Total cost for wheels/tires is about 4500 with tax, mounting and balancing. They also take special lug nuts.

I tried to buy another wheel/tire combo (single) to replace my stock spare and they said that the 20x12 Weld Cheyenne 8 has been discontinued :(.
I'm still looking for a spare if anyone can find me one locally! :D
