Could it create some cracking and be more prone to leaks or even structure break/separation? There is a lot of twisting involve going over bumpy roads as the truck frame twist and the TC pulls on the tie down.
I know a lot of people who twisted frames of pickups without a TC on them. Obviously, it's possible to damage a truck with a TC.
I know I've been miles away from a paved road on some of the steepest roughest forest roads in WA, and my TC has held up, so far. I've also had to endure some major construction over the Yellowstone roads last year when I visited them. Still, no issues. YMMV.
If you want the strongest possible combination, you could get an earthroamer vehicle or build a platform like it.
