Stay with a camper built for a short bed truck. The 3000 Bigfoots are all for long beds and the structure on them is not all that great even then. Agree with the lift kit removal. For stock size wheels the factory ones are stronger than many aftermarket ones and with a camper that means a lot as you will be close to or over the GVW(we all are). Make sure you have E rated tires due to the load. The 7.3 Ford is still a great truck, motors run forever, transmissions good for 150-200k miles, a bit noisy, but not $80-90k like new ones. I think the 2000 had an improve transmission cooler setup, if not it is a great upgrade.
