Do 5 stock wheels/tires fit in the bed of the Raptor?

Lift smart not like some ripped roid.

Yes the tire and wheel are close to 100 lbs.
If you have a tail gate step you can use it as an intermediate stopping point while loading.

I will sometimes put one or two tires on the ground first and lift to there then into the bed.

Hell, throwin' them in the bed is easy. Wait until you have to change a tire. That's when you'll see how heavy one of the tires are mounted.

^^ what he said. I have no issues with picking up a tire but trying to precisely picking up a 100 pound tire and get it aligned with the wheel bolts is almost impossible. I wish someone would make a device that would pick up a tire and precisely mount it.

You could probably use something like this:

Mechanical Wheel Dolly - 1250 Lb. Capacity

I looked at that. Max tire width is 10 inches and the raptor is 12.4 inches wide

I agree. I don't want to be telling the doctor in the ER "but I'm a man, dammit!" as they wheel me into back surgery...

Use your feet to lift it. That's how I was taught.

That's your problem. Lift with your legs, not your back!

In any event, a makeshift ramp isn't a bad idea to load the tires up.
