Unless there is a structural concern, that 811 is absolutely short enough to ride on a short bed truck.
Lance marketed their 821 that year as the "short bed" model which is coincidentally a bit longer than the 811.
I wouldn't suspect that a quality mfg camper would sag with a couple feet un-supported in the rear, as many campers are designed this way.
Worst case, leave the tailgate on. That's what I did for years, not out of necessity for camper support, but convenience. Until I built a generator shelf that conflicts with the tailgate.
