Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Once the box was on, the scissor portion of the lift was within millimeters of the top of the pumpkin on the rear end. Can't have this. Adding leaf springs for weight and a 4.5 inch block to create separation This will do the trick. Moving the box either way was not an option because of weight transfer during dumping. Yes the box at the rear end will be higher, but I do have fold down sides all the way around if loading is an issue. (I just had a thought of adding four-wheel-drive which would level out the truck some… That's another day/year project, no promises on that one.) Enjoy the pics.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
I had my wife pick this up for me at Harbor Freight. I hope it works well.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Here’s some pictures of the box completely elevated. The scissor type hoist really surprised me how “vertical” it articulates the box. Next plan is to seal the new metal with paint.
