Default dump truck angle problems

ok i just redid a truck of mine and added a dump bed to it that was longer then the old one. know i have a angle problem, the ram doesn't sit low enough to push up on the bed. it just pushes it back and binds. so what do you do when you run out of room and cant go any lower with the mounting point?

Pics we need Pics

The length of the bed has nothing to do with it not lifting. You have changed something in the geometry to make it not dump any more.

Then move the bed back up then you will get the angle back.
