Can’t be any shorter than my 99 quad cab doors haha. Yeah, have to have the 3/4 ton, though for the price, if I go new(er) I may step up to the 4500. I can get the 4500 crew cab long bed for 750 dollars more than the 2500 Crew cab short bed locally. Difference is the 4500 is a dually not sure I want that.
