is a crew cab or a extra cab that much better than a regular cab when it comes to wheel base for pulling what are the advantages. is it worth waiting to get the longer wheelbase for a truck

The longer the less it lifts the front end pulling since the weight is farther from the pivot point.

if you can hang weight the wheelbase makes less of a difference

ECC-

Full Pull Productions host a lot of pulling events over our way, and they have again decided that their street legal diesel classes for 2006 will NOT allow front hanging weight.

After debating with them, they came to the decision that since street trucks do not have weight bars, then no one will have weight bars. They want it to be attractive to local pullers who only pull once or twice a year at their home fair.

To which I say, that's all fine and good, but I'd also say that the longer trucks definitely have an advantage, especially those built to pull.
