I've put several thousand miles on my truck hauling various bikes back and forth to GA and my dirt bike up into PA. No problems with the tailgate getting damaged from road debris. Also, I haven't found that there's any need to attach the wheel chock to the bed of the truck (mine has a LineX bed liner in it). I use a Condor with the optional wings on it and strapping the bike down very securely keeps the Condor in place with no chance of it moving. The Condor isn't cheap but it'll hold my bikeapotomus GS in place standing up while I strap it down.

5.5' bed with bed extender that'll keep the ramps and other bits from bailing out along the way.

Also, nothing beats these ProTaper tie down straps for ease of use.
