what up

Hey guys
I do a little bit of plowing,and lawncare. I have a 88 250 and it sits quit high. I load some 4 wheelers in the back bikes here and there. Well my question is I seen this tail gates sometimes they are like a hydrolic handycap ones maby?

Well I was wonder if they made them for a 88, and also if I used it 3 or 4 times a day if they would stay reliable

Thansk alot for any help
(Sorry about the spelling)

You can get them for any year truck. Is a ramp out of the question though? With a quad and a properly strapped down ramp, you can drive right up in there.
