Is the crane clear enough to enable the tail gate to be lowered on a 2010 1500 Chevy? Does the crane need to be rotated to clear?

I use my crane on a ford ranger and the I can put the tailgate down with the crane in place. What's nice about the crane is you don't have to use the pin to hold the crane in the receiver if your using the crane so you can pull the crane away from the bumper as far as 2.5 feet and you can slide the crane towards the bumper all the way up to the bumper.

have 08 GMC, clears. I turn it and/or pump it up a small amount to make sure

I had it mounted to a 2002 f150 and used it to pull motor out of Chevy luv. Forgot to lower tailgate before I started but worked out fine anyways. Just lowered tailgate when I swung it around to put motor in truck bed. Pick doesn't show it but it swivels to any angle with ease (even under load) and can lock in place by hand quick and easily.

It clears on my 2010 Toyota Tundra. I can't say for sure, but I would guess it will work as well with your Chevy.

It does clear well on a 2012 ford F150 so I see no reason it wouldn't on the Chevy. I have not had to rotate I usually have it turned in when opening and closing.

I have a 2010 dodge with a stromberg fth wheel tailgate. I lift my generator into the bed of the truck and I leave the gate down while using the lift.

I have a 2004 Dodge 2500 pickup and I have to shut the tail gate to use it. It works ok but it has a few design flaws but I work around them. I mainly use it to load my 5th wheel hitch in to the bed of my truck and that works good. Overall it meets the needs I bought it for.

I have mine mounted upside down under the seat of my truck. The tray inside slides over the mounting studs OK, and the door now flips up instead of down, but no problems operating it. You can also buy a bracket that will let you mount it right side up.

I put it on a GMC Yukon and it was level. There should be no reason that it's not level with the ground unless there is a defect with it, or the receiving hitch is bent.

Yes. It will reduce the tendency to flip over so you can take turns faster. You will find the low cg chassis tends to fill up with debris a little more than the high chassis. Just invert your truck and shake after running and the debris will fall out easily.Aside from that, the low cg chassis is a huge improvement over the high one.Thanks!

It worked as it was designed to. It lowers the tailgate in one smooth motion without my hand on it except to open it. Model truck was 2011 Ram 2500. Make sure you order correct one designed for your pickup.

My gate does not bounce but then again I am using the locking pins that were original equipment to hold the tailgate closed. The Gorilla Lift is not designed to hold it in place without some sort of locking in position mechanism.

You cannot do so without having to alter the mechanics of the crane. You will need to unscrew and rearrange it which may or may not provide the outcome you are seeking.

I did the same thing it works perfectly fine and levels off w normal load.... heavy loads is will sag. I love the it rides better than new

The beam you see that is attached to the hitch can be slid back and forth easily. The only problem you might have to solve is getting clearance for the legs under the crane. As designed, it easily loads items into the center of the truck bed, and can be moved out to load into the edge of the bed. It pretty much covers it all. If you want to mount in the actual center of the bed, you need the "pick-up" style crane that has a flat mount plate to bolt to the truck floor.

Yes, I install the backplate, back up into the trailer coupler, lower it and remove the backplate. Works Great.

No. There is a bend on the side that slots into the side of the rear of the truck that would be inverse and not work.

I recommend putting it in the fully down position when trailering. It only takes a second to put close it. I have left it open on accident when trailering and it seemed fine.

HiI have it on my 2013 F150. As far as I can guess since it mounts in the hitch it should clear in hight. On my truck when fully extended it just clears the edge of the tailgate and allows plenty of room to step up. For the price IMO it is some of the best a $$$$I have ever spent on a aftermarket item.

Had it delivered to my work which had a loading dock. Through harbor freight you had to pay extra for a lift gate truck purchased through amazon it came on a lift gate truck but that isn't guaranteed as I understand it. Its pretty big heavy box with a couple big guys could probably manually unload it but you have to be their when the truck arrives. Might be worth stopping into local businesses to see if they would let u have it delivered to that location.

Have not used the crane since we purchased it so I really can't answer your question. Sorry.

It cannot be used for loading. The manufacturer does not recommend any significant weight on the tailgate. It can be easily removed.

I have a 2010 Silverado and have had no problem with clearance. Overall the unit was easy to install and worked as advertised.
