You've got enough truck, just some mods and you could step into a full hard side like have if you wish..
^This. You'd lose some of the weight cops on here immediately if if you'd have said you have a 350. Same truck, more springs in back. You're a gear head. Beef up the suspension a little and go find a hard side camper if that's what you're after.
However, if the springs on the '11 models are like my '13 and '15 F250s, they're pretty soft. I may think about adding springs rather than all the bolt on c rap I have. In the end you could buy a full set of leafs for less than the other stuff.
If you stay to the lighter side, like 3klbs or less, it will be super stable. Many haul much heavier campers and still tow.
I'll admit though, even with bags, swaybar, Stableloads, my little short bed srw tuck has some rock n roll to it especially on uneven trails. Like 1 wheel at a time potholes are the worst. I'm a newb to this TC thing but got 10-15kmi hauling it out of Seattle here to Alaska n back and out to the Midwest. Lots o mountains and plenty of dirt roads and it works. Dually would be ideal but it works fine as is.
