Looking for some advice point in the right direction. I have a 923a2 I converted it to dump. What has anyone done to add bed rail height to accommodate more capacity? Looking for ideas. Thank you!

Most people just use boards.
Or You can add a troop seat kit and reinforce them.

I plane on retaining my 5th wheel and ramps so instead of pulling everything to put a bed on, im taking the bed off a M105, mount a plate and king pin, couple jack bolts and a locking system to keep it straight and use my backhoe to put on and pull off when wanted. I’ll probably use something like the dump beds use to line up to the frame. Pics to come.

Yep, just use boards on mine.
Just started working on a proper tailgate now, so I can do a better job spreading gravel.

Where do I find info on converting my m923a2 into a dump bed ? I don’t currently have hydraulics on the truck, are you guys adding them somehow ?

You can get a wet kit or winch kit for your truck or use a electric over hydraulic pump. If you want a winch anyway I would just get a complete take off winch kit. They probably wont supply you wit the pto but Eriks surplus or C&C cant remember have the cheapest new pto kits for your truck. Installed a dump lmtv bed on my m931a2 and works great.

See if this works as a link to my build
I specifically bought a winch truck so I’d already have hydraulics for this project, but may give you some other ideas for yours.

So... I've promised several people I would get this done for some time now. It may take me a little while, but I'm going to get pictures up, of my install of an old Knapheide manufactured, Knaphoist, KH-2520L that I found on the web for $400. I also ended up buying an old 15' dump bed, but...
