Has anyone found a powered dump bed cylinder for the P4? If you get a FULL load of wet dirt/clay ... I'm not a power lifter but even with the tailgate pointed down hill it's near impossible.

If you measured the length of stroke that the gas strut moves,plus the full extend and closed postion of the gas lift strut would you beable to go to a farm supply or Princess auto and buy a linear actuator to use a a power lift.I'll have to look into that also as I think that there pretty handy.I used to have a power lift on my Ranger and just loved it.

If you get around to that before I do please post your findings.
I did a quick search of the interwebs, didn't see anything purpose built.

What's a Princess Auto?
