The 3/4t and 1t trucks are very similar to each other. If you are looking to save on vehicle registration by buying the 3/4t, you can upgrade it to the 1t capacity. If this is not a concern, start with the 1t truck instead of having modifying something you just bought.
With that last sentence typed, I will advise you that even a SRW 1t may need some suspension aids to handle the top heavy truck camper. If you are adverse to making modifications or changes to your truck, you need to be looking at DRW trucks and avoid the SRW class of trucks.
I safely haul a heavier camper than you selected plus tow a heavy trailer behind my 3/4t truck, but I was willing to spend $3000 in suspension and wheel upgrades to get the stability I wanted.
