Looking at the R, wouldn't you encounter problems if the factory bump stop location was used and the frame did bend upwards in the crumple zone like the Raptors pictured? I realize after its been caged the frame is relieved structurally quite a bit. But its still there/used to tie the upper half of the cage together. The distance that the down tubes are welded at would shorten as the frame bent more, putting the upper half of the bed cage in a bind. Wouldn't something eventually have to give as the binding got worse?
