Can you lean it against the tail gate and tip it on it's back and slide it in without bending anything?

thanks

I would rent a small trailer with a low step in height. It's alot easier to load on to a trailer with bed thats 6 inches off the gound then a truck bed that 2 feet off the gound.

Best way I have found if you can get the truck close is upside down. Take the rails off, get it close to the tailgate. With a buddies help lean it into the tailgate and continue to lift till it till it flips up on its top in the back of the truck. On a blanket of coarse. this way the center of gravity is in the truck and you don't have to worry about strapping it down. Just strap it so it doesn't fly around in the bed when you make a turn.

Rent a lowboy trailer with a ramp and roll that sucker on there... Who needs a hernia?
