Is there a difference between lwb and swb trailing arms?
Im about to start shortening my frame, taking measurements and stuff. Is there a difference in trailing arm length between swb and lwb trucks?

Long beds use extension brackets in the frame so the arms can reach the axel...

No extensions on my longbed. I had the opportunity to compare a long vs short crossmember and trailing arms. There was absolutely no difference. As Travis said they are mounted the same distance from the axle.
