do ya'll think this would work well on a jeep wrangler with a 4in lift on 33's?? I'm just worried about trying to get my bike on it (honda xr100)

I have a stock TJ and it works fine. With that bike you should be ok since it's pretty light (I have the same one!). You'll just have to push it up a steeper slope since your Jeep is so high. This carrier doesn't have the best tie down options though.

This rack is sub-par the ramp doesn't grab and hold the rail very good, it slips off with the bike half on half off. It takes me 3 guys to lift the scooter I have a 350lbs scooter. If you weld a ramp and made it hold better it might work. The ramp and rack are up too high for a motor home that's why its hard for one man to push a bike or scooter up it by themselves. I don't recommend this rack, spend a little more and get a good one!

hello. not a problem at all the ramp works great my mother in law loves her scooter holder. and has no problem using it, she's short and uses this product on a big winebego and has no problem loading and unloading by herself. Very easy product to use and assemble's in mins.

Hmm. Well the rack sits as high as the hitch. I would measure the exact height and then Think of it from a standpoint of how much muscle you want to put into getting the bike up there. You could always make a longer ramp then the one that comes with it to make it easier rolling up on the back...

The rack it self works well. I use mine on a dodge ram pick up. On it the ramp is on about a 30 degree slant when loading. I load a honda crf 230l that weighs about 230 lbs which I have no problem alone. With your lift kit I think the ramp would be a little steap.

well i have a 6 in lift on my dodge ram, wife's tribute is stock and sits fairly low and i have come to see that unless your vehicle sits on the ground the ramp is steep so i just made a longer ramp and have had no issues on either vehicle and as for the quality i love it, i wouldn't load anything over 300lbs on it just for my own comfort but a great product none the less.

I had an old Honda 90. The bike rack was mounted on a Ford F 150 4x4. I am 5'10", 70 yrs Young and had no problems.

Don't need it for 4" lift or less. Don't know about taller lifts. My 06 TJ has a 4" lift and it just fit with the heim all the way in. Works great for me!

I have a 2014 JK with a 2.5" lift. My front and rear shocks are both 21" installed. Should have no problem with your needs. BTW, best shocks I've ever owned! Replaced some Rough Country shocks that made my Jeep ride like a tractor. Took about 2 weeks of adjusting the shocks and tire pressure to find the perfect mix.

It will probably be fine. I would do something to improve the winch strap tie downs. I think that I will drill holes next to the existing rings (For some eye bolts) or have some stronger loops welded on for any sort of lengthy journey. Everything else seems overbuilt. It will still sway a bit over bumps...no hot rodding with a bike on the rack

Lynn, there are all sorts of hitch extenders that may work for your specific situation. A simple hitch extender would definitely allow you to push this bike-rack out and away from the back of your Jeep.

Your fender is likely to be the only area of concern. I had a 97 RK and it worked fine. I bought a 13 StreetGlide and the gate that flips up in the back was RFC to the fender. I took off the gate and it works perfect. When you load the bike for tie down best to have a helper set the front straps. If you let it lean over and get off to do it yourself you will as a minimum mar your rotors or spring? bend? one as a possibility. I mounted the thing on a sheet of 1" plywood, pulled my p/u 5th wheel hitch out, notched the ply so I could strap right to the 5th wheel rails left in the bed. Works perfectly. Can send a pix if you like. Best value I have seen in this kind of wheel chock Your fender is likely to be the only area of concern. I had a 97 RK and it worked fine.

sounds crazy to me too as long as the weight restriction and your height is okay I think the lift will be fine. ours works great!

I bought it and hauled a Honda CRF 230 and a CRF 80. It will work but it is difficult to tie the bikes down and it doesn't seem all that stable. Also you face a little extra chance of someone rear ending you since it obstructs the tail lights of your vehicle when loaded. I ended up selling it and getting a trailer.

Add the weight of the MX and the KTM. If that exceeds the 350 limit, you're taking chances. I have a 450# KLR + MX hanging off my trailer hitch on my GMC Savana. I sling the bike with a ratchet strap held by the rear door. I drive in the slow lane and hope I don't have to make emergency manurvers. ALSO..the wing nuts on the foot peg hooks work loose. My KLR would have been road kill if I hadn't cradled the bike with that ratchet strap. tape the threads on those foot peg retainers.

Good day, this is compatible with nearly all types of bikes. How close to the ground it may be will depend on the vehicle. This extends from under the seat to under the handlebars, so that should help if you hold the bike up to the carrier and visualize this beam across that area, it should give you a fair idea of how much clearance you will have. Thanks!

If its not lifted it definately wont fit the tire well but as far as it fitting the tire it will fit. It will be tight tho

I'm not sure if it will fit, but I can say that this unit was unable to lift my 300lb bike to the correct towing height without breaking. The vender did give me a full refund. I would suggest a carrier type instead of a towable type device.

This really depends on the type of lift and backspacing. I would say a minimum of 2" suspension lift plus 1" body lift to fit 33's - even then, you would need to check for interference and rubbing. With any setup, you need to make sure your bumpstops are properly set (see link below): http://www.wranglerforum.com/f210/correct-bumpstop-length-70047.html

I would agree with Stangman. As long as the hook ups are the same, you shouldnt have a problem with them. They are suppose to work with jeeps from stock up to 3" of lift.

It's a complete kit as far as the lift goes. You may want to get some quick disconnect sway bars while your at it. I put 33" tires on my wrangler and the kit handles them great. If your doing a jeep you may also want to consider a slip yoke eliminator.

Probably pushing the limit. This is the most sturdy rack I've seen for the 4 dr. jeeps but I'd contact the company just to make sure. Maybe 300 lb. limit Charlie W.
