I was trying to say the same thing in my previous post. Things are torn up in your installation and your camper is basically resting on your TL diagonal braces...not good.
Get the proper install and fix the tower mounts and you won't have this issue or need to build belly bars. Even if you add a belly bar, your bed will flex downward horribly there when your camper rocks toward the front without proper factory supports.
Here's what mine look like:
The TL doesn't interfere with the stock bed tower at all. You should have a quality welder fix up the bed mounts and customize the TL brackets to work alongside the stock supports, not butcher them.
You may also want to sight down your bed as it sure looks like a crease just beyond the tower and the TL brace is inboard of where it should be. Both signs of the compromised stock towers. On that really bad passenger side it looks the constant up & down hammering of the camper sheared the undersized bolt, which bent the diagonal brace toward the center, which further hammered the already compromised stock tower.
