On up stroke it will just stop when it hits the end of stroke and down stroke is the same except the stops on the frame are set at the cylinder stop in its stroke plus a little space to not keep the load on the ends of the cylinders when down. I have 2 more Air Pin Locks for the front corners of the frame. They have 3/4" Spring extend and air pressure open pins to go into Brackets welded to the Frame. These will be bolted to the side frame I added on the truck. This will lock the complete bed down and stop twist or up/lift in a corner with a high load in the bed. One of the problems with a dump bed is locking it down solid when it is lowered. The Lock Out Micro Switch will break the circuit in the control cord inside the pump Box. I also have a 30Amp Relay to not over load the micro switch contacts. All 3 Air locks work off one valve on the dash.
