Front Runner Load Bars

I was wondering if anyone has had direct experience with Front Runner's load bars for the Tacoma? I want to mount my Ezi-Awn 1.6 to them, but honestly I am hesitant to do so. I don't know if the factory track system could stand the weight of the tent bouncing around off road and the static weight of my wife, daughter, dog, and myself sleeping in it. I've read their website and their answers to the FAQ but I don't really have a concern about the bars' capacities. I'm also curious about how far above the bed the tent would be once it was on the rack? I'm thinking storage-wise for a cooler and some action packers and also in the context of crimes of opportunity.
 
I asked Frontrunner the question regarding height prior to building my own rack for my Frontier. They indicated the load bars would be 8-9 inches above the bed rails. Hope that helps.
