This "wedge" will not alter the COG location... it might physically "lift" the camper above the tailgate. COG is affected by the Natural Force (gravity) and changing the angle on which it sits will not move its location along the X-axis... basic physics.
In my opinion, it would be advisable to heed the opinions, direction and experience of the many here who have posted. If if it were me, I would not be throwing good money after bad. if you want this camper then get a truck on which to place it. If you keep the truck, then get a camper that fits it (there are very few if any that will fit it)
JMHO.
