I have tried in vain to get them to explain why, to answer whether or not they feel like it caused the crack, or whether I still have ANY warranty. NO ANSWER. They WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

Sounds like the standard reply meaning that we build a POS trailer and will find any excuse we can to deny warranty.

Honestly, adding 40 to 50# to the rear bumper will not have any effect on the problem you are having. The problem is a poorly built pin box and forward area on the trailer. The added weight on the back bumper could effect the bumper and its attachment points.
It can be repaired if the shop knows what they are doing and probably run about $3k to disassemble the left front corner, add bracing and reapply the skin.
