Interesting, I have not had that experience and my swing arm is always open when I open and close the tent. I would think that, if anything, it would just tilt the entire truck.
Thatās good its working for yours. I had the CBI single arm swing arm and ultimately ended up taking off the swing arm part because I didnāt want it to ruin the GFC
Can you expand a bit more on this please? I have the CBI dual swing. Itās bolted to my frame and have never noticed it affecting my camper.
Iām sure they can answer better, but it sounds like the heavy swingarm is causing extra truck bed flex, which in turn causes some flex in the GFC tent (misaligning top and bottom half), which eventually overstresses the strut mount(s).

Exactly what @Vice_Chief said. I had the single swing arm which I think made it worse (35 spare and 3 gallons of fuel, sometimes a bike rack). Since the Tacoma frame is a C channel it twist more under load. You could box in the frame and that may help, but I didnāt feel like doing that.
