1990 F250 - Bed Lift Kit
 
This is my first post to this forum. I have a regular cab, 1990 F250, and want to purchase a bed lift kit, but need to ask if anyone has bought and installed one. There are several different brands and types, I hope I can get some good feedback on what to get and what not to do. Ha. I tried to look in the search area but could not find anything, maybe I need to look deeper.
From what I have found on the internet, it looks like a 2000 lb. lift is all that I need. If they are all about the same, I guess the least expensive will do what I want. Some lift kits offer power to raise the bed, and power or gravity to lower it, does it make much difference? I would like to raise the bed without taking my bumper off. I have a goose neck disappearing ball that might be in the way of mounting the lift gear.
Any knowledge will help. :confused:
Thanks,

Way back in 1979 I put one on a F 150 that worked out well.If 2000 lb will work for you go for it. The bumper stayed on the truck, but things have changed so you may want to ask the Goobers that sell it about the bumper.:)
