The hinge on the end of the frame in that pic looks like it is 2' behind the rear spring perch/mount. I will definitely add another foot of frame to the rear of the truck. That's a long truck in the pic, looks nice. I removed the lift gate today from the box truck. I'll get some pics. Gonna start removing the stake body dump from the f350 this weekend.

As long as the frame is lengthened correctly, yes.

but that still leaves the issue of if the hoist will fit between the knuckle boom and the rear axle
