The steel lines came out at further back location than the long bed trucks. There also is a difference in the wheel cylinders. The long bed trucks(both 1/2 and 3/4 ton) use the same wheel cylinders in the front. The location of the fitting is actually angled back, rather than straight like the short trucks. here is also an 1 1/2" adapter that goes on the wheel cylinders, which makes them require a shorter hose. As I stated, I'm using the shortbed hoses (only thing the flaps could get) with no problems. I actually kind of like the longer hoses, less chance of a hose getting streatched due to the extra length, which is only about 2".
