Most roof mounted and side mounted storage options are added on after the fact as well.Well for starters those storage areas were designed into the vehicle when it was initially designed, not by some shade tree mechanic with extra duct tape and baling wire like the famous Canadian Engineer Red Green would do. Large commercial trucks have considerable permanent ground clearance and those loads are placed above the axle plane, NOT below it for a reason.
The Red Green UnderSlung Load:
I never suggested this is something that should be done by a shade tree mechanic. That's all assumption on your part. If you have an idiot install storage/ load bearing components on any part of a truck or car, its going to be dangerous.
If you duct tape 20 bars of rebar to the roof of your truck, it's not going to be safe either.
