So, you did not rely on the OEM mounting of your truck bed?
I worked with it but it was only a starting point. I make my living in transport and I approached it like a load on a flatbed trailer. In the 5 years I've been in my job we haven't had one incident of a load shifting and I'm certainly not going to let that happen to me. There are braces for the 5th wheel hitch but they don't look to be designed for the lateral stresses I expect. They're also a little far away from the attachment point for my peace of mind.
