if you are gonna put your bike in there and have the tailgate down wth the back wheel on it, put a board under the wheel or you can easily crush the tailgate. I crused the tailgate of my colorado with a bike tire, now I just slide one of the ramps under it and no problem at all. And I wouldnt worry about snapping cables unless they are really in bad shape, anything that is decent shape can support a ton of wieght
