Question Drop Crossmember for swb only?

Was ready to pull the trigger on one but then I read the details and every one I find says 'designed for short wheel base trucks'. Anyone put these in a longbed 2-piece?

crossmember

Thanks!

I bought the one from POL, it has adjust-ability at the trailing arm mounts.

But I "think" the long bed unit may have a drive-shaft bearing mount?

Mine looks like this. The new one has he bolt holes for the carrier bearing... Can't figure it why it would matter if it's a long bed and maybe it really doesn't since multiple sites don't say that.

Porterbuilt has a trailing arm crossmember for a two piece driveshaft.

It doesn't have any details though.
