Utility SxS Sites

[ChiScouter]

Im picking up a 3010 Mule today after work. After clean up I am going to look at making a hydraulic lift for the bed and probably building an entirely new bed with stake sides. Quick google search said aftermarket hydro lift kits cost about 1k and are good for about 300lbs. Neither of those numbers work for me. Are there any other sites with guys doing various mods for work type SxS's?

I don’t know of any SXS sites, I always get booted from other pussy ass forums. But I’d think you could rig up something cheap using tractor supply and harbor freight parts.

I'd consider using an air over hydraulic ram. All you'd need is an onboard air tank. I use one on my tube bender that I got at Northern Tool for like $100. Works great.

just use a 12v linear actuator. easy.

tons of length and lift capable options, an example;
