shortbed swap

So I just got done watching the episode of Trucks where they take thier long bed and make it a short bed. They sectioned the frame under the cab in front of the rear body mount. Did they do it this way so they didn't have to relocate the trailing arm crossmember and becasue they had a way to pull the cab off of the frame.

I'm planning on doing mine soon but I was planning on cutting behind the cab and just moving up that cross memeber because I don't want to pull the cab off of the frame. Are there pro's and con's of both ways or just whatever works best for the person doing the work??
Thanks guys.
