750 lb payload -- do i need bed stiffeners?

[taco_overlander]

the overland rig attached to the bed rails will come in at around 500 lbs. Will probably have another 250 lbs of junk in the bed. So, say, 750 lbs total in the bed area. anyone have thoughts on whether bed stiffeners would be needed?

the bed wall at the cab do be thin so yeah, probably doesn't hurt. GFC claims my bed will be stronger with their camper, and I believe it. Will my GFC act as a bed stiffener? No idea. But I'm drinking the koolaid and excited to find out..
