How much weight have you carried/dumped in the bed and how much was the dumpbed conversion? That would be a nice thing to have on my truck.

Just think how useful it would be if it were a regular size bed!
On a serious note, just buy a dump trailer. Hauling bulk materials in the bed tears shit up.

Much less useful in an 8ft bed. It would look empty when it was at the weight capacity
Had a dump trailer, sold it. Pretty much impossible to use with a spreader gate, and most of the places I want to dump other stuff, it wasn't possible to fit a truck and trailer.
The most so far has been a yard and half mulch and it dumps it like it was empty. I have a dump trailer also and the dump bed on the truck has come in handy many times especially in hard to get places

Yes, but Mulch doesn't weigh much. "Dumps like it was empty".

Need to do like those west coast dump trucks with the pup trailers do and put a 20' tongue on that thing so you can just jacknife the trailer and dump the truck without having to unhook
Some of the places I go I'd be leaving my mark on a lot of cars, but on the other hand that's a thought
