Some of that height is reduced by sag in the rear suspension under the weight of the camper, from about 2"-4", if the truck is properly sized for the weight of the camper.
Have you noticed how many stair steps there are to climb into a camper on a 2500/3500 4x4? Hows your knees?
Many larger truck campers are now made with basement tank/storage areas underneath the floor, such that the floor level of the camper can be up to a foot higher than the bottom of the camper that sits on the pickup bed.
