I rocked both units and immediately decided that leaf springs (not Ford) were the way to go due to much less rocking, less rebound and better stability. I later used the camper on a 86 Chevy crew cab dually and it worked great. I now have a 4000#, 11.5' Lance camper on a 06 crew cab Duramax dually and will never use anything else other than a newer version.
Edit: You might consider a shorter (8' or 9' unit and perhaps also one that is narrower. This camper is 11' (floor length) long and 8' wide.

I have had campers on duallys and sing axle..dually is the only way to go...But I hate driving them with the camper off
