So. Do you load it on a truck rack or just truck bed. My concern is the back plate hitting the ground if lifted to high. Drawing up a design to place the back end on so it is off the ground. Thoughts??

Are you referring to the back plate that holds the motor? If so, it shouldn't hit the ground if you have a truck. My motor is the Evolve which drops right into the drive so I don't have the back plate. However, my buddy does have a PA w/the rear mount (back plate) and he uses a bed extender w/no grounding issues.  Check on YT.  There are a variety of sources there that will help guide you. Good luck.
