As Me-Again pointed out, all of the weight is carried by the bed of the truck when using the Andersen Ultimate hitch. I'd have to look in depth at the truck bed to see if I thought it would hold up to the weight and potential flexing. Personally I probably wouldn't use one with 5er of any size if I had an aluminum bed. That said, I would avoid the aluminum bed if possible as I use my bed for a lot of stuff, much of which would seriously scratch and gouge aluminum.
There is so little wieght on the bed there is a set of filler pads you glue to bottom when you put in truck 1st time . Line them up with the dips and this stops the small amount of twist some have, usually less than 1/2 in is what I experienced . No bed bending but then I drive a real truck, Chevy :B
It's not like B&W didn't do the same thing when GM owners started reporting bed dents/bending several years ago. Still, I'd rather have a D'max! :-)

GM's had/have camber in the bed. That is not a good idea IMHO.
