Could a truck be "to long" to pull

[MVAgustaracer]

I'm new to pulling and after i get back from this trip to Iraq i would like to try a few pulls and have some fun with my truck. Well i have a crew cab long box truck and am asking if a short truck or long truck is better for pulling? If a short truck is better, are there any problems that i might have if i hook my "bus" up to the sled?

longer wheelbase is better.

Thats good news i know there are a lot of pulls in the summer in WI but is will have to wait till 2010 when i get back from the sand box.

does the carrier bearing hurt your hp ? Also will it be a weak point when you end up with pretty good hp #'s

I do not know a good answer to that. Dont know of many crew cab long bed pullers. And really cant think of any to direct you to to ask. Sorry.

being that long before you do anything get traction bars or you will break the carrier bearing from the axle moving. And if you plan on pulling alot you might want to get a one peice drive shaft to get rid of the carrier bearing
