If you look at the dimensions of camper and ute you will see ALL the weight will be behind the axle.
There is a picture on here somewhere of an unbreakable Hilux with the dual cab section pointing down at the front and the front of the slide on was pointing upwards. around 70 degrees from each other. Chassis broke under rear of dual cab section.
I can't imagine what would do that.

Kaydee,
A mate and his wife bought a Freedom slide-on, and stuck it on a Hilux dual cab. They survived a trip from near
Sydney to
Winton, then up into the
Kimberley and return.
Don't think they upgraded the rear
suspension beforehand as it sat
well down at the rear. Didn't have any chassis problems.
But it did look like the elephant riding the monkey, instead of the other way around :-)))
Don't fit airbags, if you go ahead with the idea!
Bob.
