The Lance 855s is made for a short bed truck. Although it has been done, placed on a long bed truck there would likely be a space of a foot or more between the camper and the front of the truck bed. Not sure the center of gravity would be as good on a long bed as on a short bed? Ford and Chevy/GMC don't offer DRW short bed trucks, only Dodge with the mega cab.
The added length in a LB truck is added in front of the rear axle.
GM and I think Ford allows the use of larger fuel tanks in a LB. I was told that Dodge uses the same size regardless.
A tc with a rear overhang will sit in the same spot LB or SB because it can't slide any more forward in either bed.
