It should work, but you might have to lengthen the taillight/blinker/license/backup light wires due to the kit being for a short bed. Good luck and keep us updated!

Are you rewiring it completely,  What kind of kit?  Who made it.
I don't know of a company that makes a kit specifically for a LWB vs SWB.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if they made wheelbase specific harnesses, but if they did, that should be the only difference in them.
