Dig a large hole in the ground under the liner and back the trunk into the hole under the liner.

Of course you could always just remove the bikes from the liner and then put the liner back in the truck and push the bikes up a ramp into the back of the truck. That would make too much sense though.

I was thinking forklift. Or maybe some crude scaffolding device and lots of pulleys.

Rube Goldberg that bitch, anything that takes less than 15 steps is too simple, and probably won't work.

Love the suggestions guys...

In all seriousness though, I wanted something easy and secure for toting the toys around. I went with this guy with two of the cradle chocks but it requires removing the truck bed liner (or modification to it) for it to work. So I took the liner out and figured it would be a good chance to see if two bikes would actually fit in the bed. Turns out they do. Woohoo!

Have you considered a Baxley sport chock? Those things are awesome and you can take them from the garage, to the truck to the race paddock easily. They're great for towing and great for hot trackdays. And keeping your bike stable in the garage.
