I don't know how to post pictures and not smart enough to learn, so bear with me. Buy 2-10' steel pipe about one half to three fourths inch in diameter, and 2 more small enough to slide into the larger ones. I have a rubber bed mat with grooves, so it is easy to lay the pipe in the truck bed alongside the inside wheel we'll. now you have these 2 pipes about 48" apart in the truck bed. I have a 6.5' bed, so the pipes stick out the rear about 3' beyond the bumpers. That's not far enough, so now take the smaller diameter pipes and pit them inside the larger ones. You can extend the smaller ones 4 or 5' without them flexing, and then just back up until you clear the camper on both sides of the pipe. Keep backing until the camper clears the wheel wells and pull both pipes out--on both sides. Back up until you are as far back as you want, remembering that since the front of the camper is a little higher than the rear, when you lower the camper it will come right down where it's supposed to.
