Do you mean to jack it up or what.
Is it IRS or SA?
I need to raise the rear end to load it in my toy hauler.
You can use boards for the back tires to run on to keep the tailpipes from dragging at the bottom of the ramp and at the top to keep the trike from bottoming out over the ledge going into the hauler.[/QUO
Guess that what I'm going to try. Went to a CSC dealer and was told that it is an 8 hours process to raise the rear. I'll go with the ramps. Thank you for the reply.
I had a triple axle, 46 ft. raptor toy hauler for 5 years.
My 06 Wing, CSC conversion, 3 1/2 in. Ground clearance. Big problem scrapping pipes.
I immediately made 3 ramps about 4 ft. Long. 2 x 6 s.
I put door hinges on each ramp, and other half bolted inside right thru rear door.
Then I lighly grounded the 3 hinge pins. This to go in and out easily by hand.
From drop of tail gate to load or unload about 10 mins after no tie downs.
Very easy and quick. I strapped the ramps behind trike with tie downs.
Also: I even dragged skid plate at hinge point of door. I screwed together a couple 2 x 4 s,
Used them under door pads, for better angle.
Putting on lift kit is going to mess with performance. Might have to also change triple tree to steeper angle, keeping most weight on rear 2 tires instead of one front tire.
Safe riding.

I have used the trailer tongue jack to raise the front of the trailer a ways while still hooked to the tow vehicle - doing so raised the front of the trailer and lowered the tail which resulted in a flatter angle at the ramp hinge point. This allowed the tail pipes to clear ground and the trike to clear at the hinge point. The only downside is that you end up parking the bike in an uphill situation until the jack has been removed from the situation. I usually just run it in and have someone lower the nose or if alone, park in gear, attach a tie down, then lower the nose before final security. Works for me. Your mileage may vary. Ha.
