A method of packing a vehicle in a crate for shipment is disclosed where a full vehicle height is greater than an internal height of the crate. The method includes placing the vehicle on a bottom side of the crate; compressing the vehicle into a packing configuration by compressing front and rear suspension assemblies; and connecting crate side walls and a top side of the crate to the crate bottom, the internal height being measured from a top surface of the bottom side of the crate to the top side of the crate, the top surface of the bottom side of the crate to a highest point of a roll cage being less than or equal to the internal height when the vehicle is in the packing configuration and is placed on the bottom side of the crate, the roll cage and tires still being installed on the vehicle.
