PIERCE 2T Dump Bed Kit - TEST and OVERVIEW 

I completely followed every word and you gave excellent instructions. I have watched every available video on the Pierce dump kit. Your video was one of the most thorough. My '96 F250 4x4 will soon have a dump kit installed and you helped me more than you ever will know. I am a Vietnam Era Veteran and my truck is my one sinful guilty pleasure. I built, rebuilt, restored and refurbished the entire truck from front to back. I intermittently know every last nut, bolt and screw. It is a work of art and a rolling sculpture. She deserves a dump bed and she is going to get one. THANK YOU !!!!

Best 17 minutes and 40 seconds I have spent on this subject. I want to do this on my F350 and this has been easily the best video on this. Thank you.

Just the thought of how easy it will be to work under the truck bed , to clean your truck and make sure it doesn’t get rusty . Love this kit

best how video on this dump box kit , no bull and all the info you need , thanks man for keeping it real

That's a fantastic review of this kit. I just purchased this kit from Pierce and will install this in the next following weeks. I'm pretty sure this review will help me. Thanks!!!

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to provide such detailed information and sharing your experience/expertise. 👍

RT, this is very informative, thanks for the post.

**UPDATE** I have since taken this OFF my very expensive truck :) After having a heavy load of wet dirt in my bed the lift started to lift the Belly of my bed but couldn't lift the load...this then about buckled my bed floor. The DUMP KIT is rated to lift 4,000 lb...your truck bed floor is Not. Due to the design of truck bed they only have cross supports, the only length ways support comes from the ribs of the bed floor itself...so not completely the kits fault but still. I will be making a dump bed out of a 78' C20 8' bed. I plan to weld up a steel frame to mount this kit on and then put that under the bed, that will make a nice sturdy dump bed and worse case scenario i fold that bed i can put any junkyard 8' bed on.

Nice video, this should be standard option.

I appreciate you doing this video. I'm looking at getting this kit for my 2011 F250.

Super video, excellent. Looks like you're in an area like here in Missouri where we haul lots of gravel into our places regularly. Thanks so much!

This video was awesome and very informative! Thank you!

Thanks for the review!

Good job, appreciate the insight and fixes 😉👍

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. We have very similar trucks. I'm on the fence with doing this. I have already had my bed off twice to service the fuel pump and various lines. I now have ANOTHER problem with my sending unit, so I thought about this kit. Besides, how cool to have a dump bed!!!

thanks alot for the video it looks about as very simple other than messing with the bumper

In order to keep my bed straight I welded metal pieces off the v channel in a 45 degree angle and that shoved the bed into place each time.

wow very informative thankyou

Very nice and informative video

That was great. I’m looking to get a truck for my contracting work. Using the truck bed for tools. Though when not hauling tools, I have many loads to the dump, and some (light duty) up to 1yrd gravel loads, I’m hoping an F150 will do the trick with an added dump kit. Thanks for that great video!

Very nice change in you truck you make happen all

thank you for share your experience. i would do this.

Great video 👍👍

Thx for the video bro!

I'm actually interested in this kit for a future upgrade. Looking at getting a f250 possibly soon and would love to get this kit, can't decide between this kit and the dump insert

Cool review/video.. Im planning on making my F150 a "stealth dump truck"

Great video my man. Very detailed and much better than the video the manufacturer has. Mines almost done, deciding what to do about the bumper and hitch..... if I find a better way to do it I'll come back and explain in the comments.

Very smart. Mechanical assemblies need to be used. The homemade bracket needs sand blasted and powder coated though... 🤔🙂 but.... who doesn’t pull with a truck? A truck is for hauling and pulling. I personally tried to pull the hinges off of hell, so pulling is a necessity. 🤪

Try some nylon washers on that ram pin to help keep the bed center. they will provide a smoother wear and tear. They make all kinds and shapes of nylon hardware. Nylon is tuff and won’t rust.

I would rather go with a dump insert it might be slightly more expensive and weigh more but it's way more heavy duty then the bed of a truck. I don't have to weld supports on my bed. If my truck breaks I just put the insert in a different truck. They can usually lift more weight. They can also hold more material like mulch which doesn't weigh near as much as say rock. This kit still makes it easier then doing it by hand though. Good stuff!

Im a picture person also. Its much easier to look at a oucture than trying to read a bunch of steps.

What kind of kit I need I have a 97 ford ranger thank you and good video

I gotta agree with you I been thinking about one of these much cheaper than a dump trailer

I just installed this kit on my 1990 Chevy K2500. I also don’t like the wire cable support, and I plan to install a square tube support like you did. The challenge is designing it to clear the rear differential if/when the frame drops down low enough for the bumpers to hit the diff. Does your rear diff hit that bar when your suspension is maxed out?

I would like info on relocating the bumper I like how the bumper moved with the lift so the tailgate was still usable with the kit

thorough

are there any installers for hire? near Virginia? I want one but I don't think I'm capable

Very nice job, they should hire you to do the work.

Thank you for the video. I had a question someone here may know. I have a gooseneck hitch and would love to have the ability to use both the hitch and this dump system. Do you think there’s a way they can both be installed and not interfere with each other

grease all hinges and other pivot areas ~ lucas red lithium / spray.. also clean under bed spray under bed all metal areas and bolts with zinc

I was thinking about one of these myself. Any issues with rattles, sqeaks or the bed fluttering around while driving?

I'm planning on getting a 2 ton ram and pump, and fabricating the rest.

I run a small landscaping business and was thinking about this over a dump insert. Is there any concerns to structure damage of the truck using this constantly over a dump insert?

Ok.. I have dump trailers and use them daily so I want to see this out in the field working. Now we all know the ground is never level at the landfill, so I want to see this performing on a hillside on uneven ground. Does the bed have alot of twist when loaded 3-4k lbs ? For some reason I truly believe it would have alot of twist in it and would not work properly..

do you have the installation video ?

Is there no way to mount the pump if you still have the stuff that was removed in this video? Unfortunately I need to keep that stuff in my county.

$1700 isn't to bad, I see you made an update removed it. Sounds great with the customer support. Love to just find the scissor piece, with cylinder, pump. Make it simple to use on any type of bed, vehicle, trailer. Did you mount it on another vehicle?

How strong is the bumper after reattaching it in the new spot

I am just disappointed that there are no zerk fittings on any of the pivot points. That does not make sense.

I'll give you 500 to do mine! Thanks for a great video.

Excuse me, do You sell this device? Or how can I get one of this? How much does ir cost to send it to México.

Where do I go to have this installed on F250 ?

Can you add that kit on any pick up truck

I wonder if you can still pull a gooseneck trailer with this???????

DC12V power unit supply the power.

Cani do this to my 1500 2000 Chevy

No one should ever get under a raised bed without taking safety precautions that insure the bed does not kill you. Even if, and especially if, the bed is empty! Ask any dump truck driver .... that has a brain.

It won't lift 4000lbs. The scissors wouldn't bolt dead on center and that said it would lessen the lift weight. The most I got to lift was around 3000lbs which includes the bed. 1 ton truck, I got about 1.5ton on gravel and it would not lift :( 2500 was OK.

Dame número

These kits are best fitted by engineering shops, otherwise you will have these same problems as this badly engineered setup.

far to much money and way to much work

i just dont see why anyone would do this. those little pick ups cant hold weight and those beds are tin foil plastic garbage. i hate normal pick ups. mason dumps are where its at.

I think it would nice deal take tail gate off truck if you can for realy nice dump and go spread called tailgating this way tailgate gate not close to ground
