Here's a couple of points, and the engineer in me coming out...
A longbed camper on a short bed truck, will only be an issue if the corresponding Center of Gravity is too rearward for the short bed's axle position. The only difference between the longed and shortbed "models" of the WC850 is whether storage boxes are installed at the back or not. The floor layout is the same, as is the CG. Total length of the camper is the same, but because a shortbed doesn't stick as far back towards the bumper, NW uses the open space between the taillights and camper bumper for the generator.
Yes - Your turnbuckles will most likely never be the same overall total length each and every time you load the camper. However, the hack mark is on the hook section, which extends out of the turnbuckle body as the spring compresses. How far that hack mark will be from the body of the turnbuckle will represent how much compression that spring is under... Nothing to do with how threaded or unthreaded the other end of the turnbuckle is.
