I am looking for something that has a slide. Is that possible with my maximum cargo at 2,080?
Not even close. The lightest slide out campers are around 3,000 lbs empty. You'd be over your GVWR by 2,000 lbs or more by the time you were loaded up.
You will need a small, pop-up style camper to stay within your payload ratings. A 3/4 ton truck cannot handle a hard side camper within its rated capacity, and even a 1 ton single wheel is going to be on the ragged edge, assuming a 4x4, crew cab truck.
The short answer to your question is no.
