As long as the camper shell weighs less than the 3,000 lb capacity of the # CJ74 Camper jacks, you should only need one set. The lift bracket itself is 26-1/2 inches long, so be sure to place the brackets at the center of gravity of the camper shell so it'll be balanced once it's up on the jacks. If the camper shell is heavier, using 2 stes would be recommended.
