rear suspension question

I am thinking of converting my leaf spring rear suspension to the ladder/coil system. Are the ladders the same length from a shortbed to a longbed? thanks

Re: rear suspension question

yes, crossmember is just located in a different location in relation to wheelbase. farther forward on Shortbox frame and farther back on longbox frames.
