I have degree in mechanics and don't think the common ties are really strong, especially for camper like mine that can exceed 5000 lb
They are on the Bigfoot 3000 series. My father dropped a wheel off the side of the road. He tried to gently bring it back up but wouldn't come until finally the drop off ended which shot the rear end around, then back over the other way. The fellow TCer behind him swore it was going to go over and even had one of the rear wheels off the road by several inches. We figured the only thing that saved the day was the slow speed because of heavy fog and wet roads allowing the tires to slide a little. The TC rocked so violently in the bed that three torklifts came unhooked at the bottom but the camper did stay in the truck bed without any damage.
