6 pak campers

KD4UPL - 2008 - short wheel base ( 6'+ ), 5.4 engine, auto trans, trailer special, I have carried and pulled travel trailers & 5th wheels, for many years. A cab over would be handy for fishing & hunting trips. Thanks

Badger - Thanks, what does yours weight?

Also too, what type of Six Pac camper are you thinking of getting? I have a 91 model 78S that fits in the back of my 65 Chevy short wide. I had to make a 2 inch spacer (flat 2x4 with 1/2" ply on top) to put in my bed so that it would have enough clearance to allow truck flex. Without it, it sat within 1/8 inch of the roof.

I replaced the stock coil springs in the rear with HD overload coils. Also, added air shocks. The truck handled the weight before without problem, but I always like to over think things...Now I KNOW it will handle the weight without problem.

Just saying, don't go too big on the camper (the Six-Pacs aren't light) without considering the truck as well.

Half ton truck and truck camper don’t match well most of the time.

F150 is very, very vague. Answeres could range from you won't need to do anything to you can't possibly make it work. Year, suspension package, cab configuration?
