According to the manufacturer, the Dakota in not intended for slide-in camper use and is discouraged.
I imagine that some substantial suspension changes would have to be made.

I've seen one by my girlfriends parents house. It's a 4x4 quadcab. He had to put airbags on the back to keep the rear end from sagging. Makes a great offroad/camping/hunting truck.

I have a 7'6" import camper for my '98 Dakota CC 4X4. It handles just great, even with a 3" body lift and 33's. I just had a suspension buddy put in a couple add-a-leafs and all is fine. I also had to modify some camper bars to fit, as at the time there were none available on the market. I believe now you can buy all the proper camper bars to fit. With the camper, if you get an import camper rather than a new expensive Dakota camper, you have to lift the camper up by about 2 1/2" so it will clear the cab and box rails. My camper is an '85 Slumber Queen and weighs around 1000 lbs.
