I don't think that's big enough for a dump trailer. Assuming you used a 17 cu. ft. trailer as the basis, placing that cylinder at the front end of the bed and pivoting it at the rear of the bed would barely be adequate to raise the bed when level-full of dirt, and would only raise the front 14" or so, depending on the stroke of the cylinder, which would give you about a 12-degree slope in the dump position, which probably isn't enough for the dirt to slide out. This is also assuming that the charge pump pressure is 800 psi. One-sentence answer: You will probably want a larger bore and stroke cylinder for this to work the way you'd want it to.
