When you say keep it short a lance 1030 is 10'11" and as I understand it thats as long as I can put in a 2500 8' bed, with that being said are you saying we would be better served in a Lance 1010 and sacrifice the extra room in the shower area??
You will have to use a 3' SuperTruss for the 1030. This will put much more leverage on your rear axle than a 2' extension and a camper with less overhang.
Not only will you be spending more for the extension, you will have to invest more into suspension as you get more weight behind the axle. Depending on how happy you are with your current truck, you may want to weigh the cost of going to a DRW verses upgrading your current one. My truck handles my camper and trailer well, but we had to limit our choices and I had to make some truck upgrades to keep things in check.
