Step purchase question - does bed length matter?

hey all, I found a pair of decent sized tube steps on the FB marketplace for a cool $100, but the lady selling them has them on her doublecab longbed, and said they will only fit a long bed. I was not aware of bed length being a factor in installation; I thought access vs double cab was what mattered. Am I being dumb?

 

The steps mount under the cab. Don't see how bed length would have anything to do with fitment. Just Access Cab or Double Cab.

 

Yes they’ll affect fitment. I purchased a set off a longbed several years ago when I first got a Tacoma and they didn’t fit. You’ll have issues with the rear of the step hitting the tire. This may vary depending on manufacture though.

 

damn. Thanks for the sad confirmation. Oh well, back to the step hunt
