My understanding on many of the long bed units in an 8-9 footer is the tail lights are visible and on the short bed they aren't so they build the back wall square and put tail lights on. I have an 850SC Northstar made for a short bed. My shortbed is that Ford 7 footer. There is no other difference in an 8.5 long or short bed model. How can that affect performance? Lightening is a different issue. I can see where a 10 footer hanging 3 1/2 feet of the end would be tricky but not a shorter one.
