@txgearhead, yes a FF axle swap is relatively easy and straight forward on these trucks, IF your name is txgearhead. But the OP doesn't know a muffler bearing from blinker fluid. How much do you think that little ordeal would run him?
Answer, a he!! Of a lot more than selling his (apparently) pristine 1500hd and buying a nice similar age 2500hd.

That just shows the "lack of" knowledge of the camper dealers..Silicone gets the same bad rap on the internet as 1/2 ton trucks do, yet Bigfoot uses silicone on there campers as well as countless RV dealers for repair..
GM gives your HD 1500 a 6K rear axle rating, which is definitely more from the manufacturer of the axle as my Sterling(Ford) axle is...My F-350 DRW with a Lance 9.6 TC loaded ready to camp, weighs 6K even on the rear axle when I last weighed, out of curiosity..
Your not going to have any problems with a TC on your HD 1500 truck,within reason..Guys around here think an AF-811 is just fine on a 3/4 ton truck when it actually overloads a newer 3500 DRW in GVWR..Double standard..YES...
Your truck is a rare find, so enjoy it and don't listen to the nay sayers about 1/2 ton trucks,they are wrong about most of them but especially wrong about the HD version truck campers and towing with it
Enjoy just about any 8'6" TC on that truck.

Yeah, you don’t need a bigger truck. Hopefully only you will pay the price for running overloaded.

Truck Camper Magazine has a buyers guide that includes true weights. its been pretty accurate for the 2 truck campers I bought in recant years.
Does Capri advertise there? If not, they probably aren’t listed.
