You will need some serious upgrades to improve the weight carrying capacity. At a minimum you will need upgraded rear suspension including shocks. You might need a wheel and tire upgrade. You will be pushing it if you want a hardsided camper and also want to tow a Jeep.
You should stick with a smaller unit without slides to keep the weight down. I suggest you look at Northstar. They have a lot of choices for smaller truck campers.
