You’d be right.
It’s an Arctic Fox 990 in a short bed. All the beefing up of the suspension makes it feel like there is no suspension at all.
Looks just like this side view picture.
That is my short bed F250 and short bed 811 on it. Mine weighed about 4000 lbs when filled with water and loaded with gear. I ran 19.5" wheels, had the factory overloads and stabilizer, upper and lower StableLoads, and air bags used when towing a 20' enclosed trailer.
I considered going to a flat bed, but I was at 8000 lbs rear axle weight with the trailer hitched and knew the flat bed would weigh more than the factory bed. I would have little left to carry any extra weight (rims were my weakest at 4500 lb rating each).
Have you weighed your truck and camper combination to see how heavy you are verses the components you have on your truck? If you don't tow, you will be closer to 7000 lbs on the rear axle, but I don't know what you have done with rims and tires...
