Picked up a 2008 Ford F450 and loaded up the 811. It handles so much better than the 2500. Still making minor adjustments as I get a feel for it.
Judging from Bakersfield accident posted here few months back - TC tend to flip forward and crush truck cabin.
With no bed end wall and with additional distance that brings some integrity concerns.
I would reinforce the rear ties.

I was able to fit 7.5' of my short bed Arctic Fox on my 9' flatbed deck. There was enough room to carry my spare on the headache rack and you can see where the CG sticker is in relation to the rear axle.
Your only issue on a DRW pickup is to make sure you you can clear the front camper tie downs and the rear wheel wells. Most likely your turn buckles will not be long enough and you will need chain between them and the tie down.

That was C&C F350, with longer wheelbase and beefed up suspension.
I put a bed on it, but the frame was still sticking behind it so I weld the bumper level with bed floor and used about 16" of space on front for all stinky junk.
The beefed up suspension did not mind COG well behind the axle at all.
