    Do you have it bolted to both racks (the shell and cab)? If so, how is it holding up since they flex differently?

    Yes - bolted to both. It was a concern of mine as well; however, I added a rubber strip between the rack and the tent to allow some "give" plus the rubber under the snugtop camper has some compliance as well. I have not noticed any issues. With that said, I'm not sure how such problems would manifest themselves... good question.
