it should lift what ever you can put it that bed you made and then some. what is the gvw of your truck? then go get it weighed empty and the difference is what you can legally haul. my two ton dump can legally 4.5 tons. when i hit four tons i hear the hoist growning until i get past the fulcrum of the lift. with 3 tons or less it flys right up. mine is a galion hoist.
