I had to build shimm for my Lance camper. Camper floor keeps the weight on the edges only, so I build 4x8' frame out of 3 x6" and put 1/2" plywood on the top. Than I had 2nd rubber mat on top of it. No center support needed. Still it add close to 100 lb, what is no problem with my dually.
I also corrected "trailer" in my post above.

Per my experience, good rubber mat is what holds TC on position with normal driving.
Tie-downs are needed for extreme situations only.
Also if you have trailer hitch on your F150, you can easy DIY rear ties. Lot of pictures on forum, but this is not a big brainer.
Not much you can do fitting curved frame for front ties, so Torklift design is probably the best.
What I also notice on my aluminium bed - the ribs on it end about 2" before bed ends, so my long trailer would collapse them on the edge. I made a strip of plywood to fill the gap under factory mat.

My advice..Tell Boise spring works what you want to do and they can make you up something like the old "Belly Bar" that goes across the frame to anchor your TC too in the front and or back..They could make you one up and you could install it with ease...
Boise spring work does good work and you won't be the first truck camper they have made work on a truck..I would go there in a heartbeat over some of the advice here which will mostly be F-150 bashing..LOL
There are Happi Jack spring loaded turnbuckles that are alot cheaper than Torklift,as an example..
