Front Frame Mount Tie Downs Not Working!

I guess it's a bit of chicken or egg. Did the TL mounts break, causing the tearing of the metal towers or were the towers damaged previously and the TL's failed due to this damage.
Torklift may pm, but I’ve never seen them respond directly on an RV.NET thread. I don’t think manufacturers are even allowed to respond on RV.NET.
I don’t think it’s possible for the TL mounts to break the truck. Torklift mounts have been used a couple of decades by thousands of people. They fully warranty their product as others have noted over and over.
Early in this thread, it was noted that something was “special” about the OPs setup. It just took a large number of posts for the OP to give enough info to point out a significant issue.
Still waiting for the zoomed out picture of the TC on the truck. I doubt we’ve seen all of what’s wrong with the truck setup. Something caused the extreme upward pressure, and that wasn’t the TL mounts.
I don’t have a problem with the OP bandaiding his setup, but I think he’s just changing the point of failure by making a different tiedown mount which could make a more expensive problem to fix. That is, OP could cause the TC mount points to pull out next. I don’t think what would be a good solution and could be extremely costly.
OP needs to find out why he has so much upward pressure.
