My dude, so many questions. Does the camper require an 8’ bed? How long is your flat bed? Do you have center of gravity issues? Is there a large space between your camper and your headache rack? Literally exactly what I want to do just Ford and Northern Lite.

See my new build ***Link Removed***.
The Hillsboro bed was $6500 plus tax.
I am looking at some ***Link Removed*** that we are planning on getting.

I did that exact thing on an aluminum flatbed made by TG Mountaineer. I had boxes under the bed in front and behind the rear wheels. I had longer boxes on top of the flatbed between the camper tie down points. I had flip-up rings in the flatbed deck at each corner that I attached the happi jack turnbuckles too.
My truck was a dually so the bed was 8' wide which did require dually swing-out brackets on the front jacks. This still only left me with about 3/4" of clearance between the jacks. My fresh water supply hose connection was on the underside of the camper wing facing down. The toolbox blocked it. I made up a 90 degree fitting with some parts from the plumbing department of Lowes.
My flatbed was semi custom built. I really wasn't happy with the overall quality of the bed but they were one of very few vendors willing to customize it for me. I think the bed and boxes cost me about $6,000 in 2011.
