Helpful Expert Reply:

The Brophy Cable Camper Jacks part # CJ74 can be used for storage but if the side of the camper do not extend to or past the sides of the truck bed it would not be feasible for them to be used for loading/unloading. That said, you could somehow fabricate some extensions on the camper and or jacks but that's the only option I see.
