Hi Yohyatt,
To answer your question: The Lance 1172 has 2 slides and the rear one has a couch.
It's a very nice camper and, in theory, it could be carried on a properly equipped SRW truck… although I wouldn't personally choose one with a street-side-slide.
Keep in mind that you're asking for a lot from your 1-ton SRW truck… especially hauling two bikes on a hitch-carrier. That Lance 1150 weighs over 3,000lbs dry and you can expect it to come in over 4000lbs wet & loaded. In order to carry the two bikes (500+ lbs!!) you will need a suitable 36-48" hitch extension.
IMHO, given the suspension & wheel/tire mods you mentioned, I'd suggest you stick with the 1150 and plan to pull a trailer when you go riding.
As a data point; I have a SRW 1-ton truck with all of the upgrades you mentioned (and then some). My camper weighs just under 4k lbs wet, I have a SuperHitch, a super-strong bike carrier & a beefy 48" extension (stronger than a SuperTruss!) … and I would never considering carrying more than one bike.
Cheers,
