Front Frame Mount Tie Downs Not Working!

I have to agree with those who say you'll just be covering up the real problem by building different/stronger mounts. Something is way off to break welds that are basically in shear. As someone said, the camper mostly sits there and only needs some help to stay. If there's enough force to bust those welds either there is way too much tension on the tie-downs or not nearly enough, allowing the camper to leave the bed and "get a run" at pulling on the welds. If you switch to a one-piece belly bar, I suspect you'll start bending it unless it's really overbuilt.
Have you checked the truck's bed mounts? Since the camper sits in the bed but the mounts are to the frame any slop in the bed mounts could possibly aggravate the issue.
You haven't answered how tight you are running the fastguns? What method do you use to ensure the right tension?
Also, I'm really surprised you lost a rear mount with or without the camper. They are held by pins with spring-loaded retaining clips.
