Default Need help with suspension choices

I have a 06 f150 4.6L xlt regular cab that I need to fit a truck camper into. The camper is 1,200 lbs dry. I know that my truck will barely haul 2 gallons of milk with the supension that is on it. I've read all the posts on why not but frankly I need a home and right now I don't have many options. Buying a 3/4 or 1 ton is not an option right now. With that being said, what are the best options for me? I know about add a leaf, Timbren, and air shocks. I need to know what is the best option or combo. Also will I need to do anything to the front? Is the weight a problem for the rear axle it's self? Will I need to get new tires to handle it?

I won't be hauling it around with me all the time but I will need to haul it once in awhile.
Thank you for your time.

Air bags for sure.

Stabilizer tow hitch could help as well if you have any issues with sway.
