The rear half of the truck bed is the same length whether short or long. The diference is the cab to axle measurement between SB and LB. The CG of the camper will be the same when sitting on either bed.
Bedlam is correct. COG relative to the rear bumper is the same regardless of a short bed or long bed camper- my COG is about 2" forward of the rear axle- same as on a short bed truck. I am doing the SB camper on a LB truck... that extra space is welcome for storage and for my generator:

What Bedlam is implying is that on a long bed you will need a spacer to keep the tc from sliding foreward, most folks use a wooden frame.
I built a simple frame to place between the front of the camper and the truck bulkhead. It is custom fit to keep my generator in place.
To the OP... look at my first image- Because the Mega cab and my Q-cab have the same wheelbase, that gap space that I am utilizing for storage will be filled with your mega cab volume and the short bed will hold the camper. If you can visualize what I am describing then it is how your rig might appear (does that make sense?)
