egarant's excellent post addresses the problem.
If you have adjustable shocks, try setting them at the lowest setting (with the camper loaded) and THEN you will KNOW.
That is the "mushy" feeling that egarant refers too. (I call that feeling "spongie" handling.)
When the shocks are set up to "9" (their highest setting) the "spongie" feeling goes away.
However, under ALL road conditions, there is still a bit of "sponginess" felt at times.
Setting number "9" is not quite enough. In fact, it seems a bit naive to think that a single set of Bilsteins or Rancho shocks will suffice for ALL truck camper rigs.
Again, I have to thank egarant for that first hand experience post.
The remaining question (to my mind) is whether a dual pair of rear adjustable shocks would accomplish the same.
