Actually have a hydraulic piston raise the front of your bed? I think I’ve seen a product that’ll convert your pickup bed into a dump truck?

It looks great in the advertisement but so do a lot a of products. If it works a hundred times without breaking I'll get one. It looks too simple to actually work well. It's not to expensive, if it works as advertised. Do you have to leave it on all the time or does it come off easily when you don't want it? Anyone? Has anyone here actually used it.

Trust us, it works... sort of. At least it worked for a friend of mine who was trying to offload a really badly overbuilt camper shell from the truck his father gave him for college. I think his father intended the 'shell as alternate birth control. If he'd bothered to clear out the wood splinters from the bed, he'd probably have gotten away with it. Except for the scratches.
