i've seen it in your first post, the reasons for my thoughts are:
the original mount truck bed flexes, too. it warps.
a shelter doesn't allow any warpage
if you tie it down on a bed, it's sort of more flexible than a bolted on shelter.
the same is with a subframe that is make like a original...
If you don't want to remove the shelter, you should build a 3 or 4 point subframe.
3 punkt lagerung - Google-Suche
no problem to keep the clearance to the wheels, less stress on the shelter and the frame and better off-road capabilities... just my 2 cents..
this is the route i would go...
