Carrying a camper and towing your trailer is 4.10 gear territory.
By the time you re-gear your truck and buy a Superhitch and a shortbed type camper with a slide-out, you'll be a lot of $$ into it.
You really have the wrong truck, I'd sooner sell/trade into a long bed with lower gears.

I know, you run what you've got... another possibility is a redneck toy hauler, that's a big enough trailer to put a camper on the front and your Jeep on the back.
But you still have those tall gears.
