There pretty damn stong hinges man on my truck as you can see in the pic the hinge is the same width as the frame rail on the box. And they where the thickest gage at the store. Two winters ago I lifted the box full of snow to shovel it out and didn't twist the hinges so yes I would suggest using them.

If you place the hinges like in my pictures they will lift the box away and up. Its all about where you place the hinges so that it clears the cab.

I'm no tilt bed hinge expert, but those don't appear to be very strong

get yourself some 1/2 pipe and some 3/8 round stock cut the pipe every 2" and slide them over the round stock this is how my boy does his hydralic tilt bed and that is a beefy ass hinge. weld every other one to the top and the rest to the bottom. never seen one break and i seen beds like 10 feet in the air.
