truck bed camper question

I am not trying to start another war on who likes body lifts and who doesnt, so please dont get that argument goin again lol. I came across an 11 foot in bed truck camper for free that is in decent shape (gotta love craigslist). I got it home in my dads f150, where it is currently residing while i clean it up and do some minor repairs. Now, my 86 f250 is where i originally wanted to put it but now i think my 3" body lift may cause me some issues if i do put it in. I guess when i saw it for free i got excited and wasnt thinkin about the body lift lol Now common sense would tell me that it is probably not the best idea to use this in conjunction with the body lift. However, does anybody have any real experience with this situation? Please dont tell me to remove my body lift, because that is not happening. My truck has a total of 7" of lift and sits on 38.5" ground hawgs, i just thought that an camper would look sweet in a lifted truck. Ive never seen one in a lifted truck and probably for a reason. I know it would be top heavy also. I just wanted some other input before completely give up on the idea of it in my truck. Thanks, Jesse

if it's a well done body lift, i don't see any troubles. other then being top heavey, and a bit of a jump to get up in

Ok, we won't tell you to lose the body lift.........

And we won't tell you that your camper and truck bed are going to end up in the middle of the road behind you either.........
