I'm trying to set the 450 up to make some side money. I want to make the flatbed into a dumper.
What would be the most effective lift system? A single multistage cylinder mounted all the way forward, like what the big boys run, or twin single stage cylinders, one on each side, on the outside of the frame rails, starting just forward of the front (of the rear) spring hangers, angling forward to the bottom of the bed.
The flat bed is 14' long, and will never see more than 5 tons under any circumstances.
The trick is, that I want to be able to remove the dump bed when I need to.
