Need to raise the camper to clear the cab

I need to build a platform to raise up my camper to clear the cab of a new-to-me truck. Camper is older and originally for a smaller truck. Cabover is @40 inches. Need at least 44 inches. Looking for ideas to include additional storage. Anyone doing this? Any pictures available?

Thanks! Did a search but coming up empty.
  • Keep in mind that the higher the camper sits off the actual bed, the higher the vertical Cg is and the more 'tippy' and cross wind prone the unit becomes.

    Depending on truck bed height and camper height you may also have vertical clearance issues too.
