F-150 Camper Possibility

I have a 95 f-150 4X4, 5.8L, std cab, short bed, eddie bauer edition truck. GVWR 6100 lb. I would like to get a camper for it, although I'm am not sure whether or not my truck will be able to hold one. With the money I'm looking to spend on a camper, it will be an older on and weigh alot more than the new ones. If anyone has some info on this, that would be great.

well get the specs on a camper bout the size your lookin at first. if its close to your limit, it may be a problem. you could stiffen the suspension with addaleafs, air bags, or all new leafs. when you do this, you should get new shocks to help with handling issues. oh and welcome to fte. lotsa info here and if you stick around youll learn alot.
