I looked at your build thread and think you would be able to make your bed tilt.
If you make a frame that attaches to the bottom of your bed and lays over the original truck frame it would work. You may have to raise your bed floor up for clearance but I think you could make it work.
I'm raising my bed floor up because my truck won't haul anything but a$$.
You want the pivot to be as low as possible to keep the front of the bed from getting into the back of the cab.
