I made my hoist for my '88 Ford pickup. I built a subframe outside of the pickup frame. It has twin cylinders which have the bottom ahead of the tires and just below the bottom of the frame and the top is inside the wheel wells in the box. The rear bumper moves with the box and the hinges are at about the end of the frame. The box is still in the same position as original, both in height and for & aft. I used the power steering pump to power it. I used an old refrigerant tank as a reservoir since power steering systems have very little reservoir, and I used a selector valve to switch the pump from steering to the dump box hydraulic valve. I used a three spool valve because it was the least expensive available at the time. One spool is for the pickup box, one for the quick couplers out the back for the hoist on the trailer, and one which never did get used. The hoist very easily lifts a three thousand pound load. On an F150 this seems like plenty of load. I do need to raise the box to fuel the truck, so I usually keep one tank full, and as soon as I switch to that tank I fill the now empty one. It was lots of work, but it has saved even more work. Sorry for the long reply.
