9' camper in shortbed truck

[GFreshour]

I have a 94 Elkhorn 9' camper that I used with my 95 long bed. I have since acquired a 2001 Shortbed, and really don't want to give the camper up and start over. If I leave the tailgate down, I will have the 8' bed pattern the camper requires, the new truck has sway bars and overload springs. I think that the axle (and CG) is only 1 foot less. Has anyone had any experience with this type of setup? both vehicles had the same 8800 GVW.

Installing a 9' slide in in a short bed screws up your CG and you will be tail heavy. JMHO
