Excellent advice. Engineering specs exist for a reason. Because you "can" do something does not make sense when routinely exceeding mfgr specs. All parts have to work in synergy, or weak link failures result. How safe do you want to be? Stay within spec load limits & you won't compromise designed safety tolerance. Mass in motion is a powerfull thing. (think .22 vs .45 cal) I'd not want a run-away in mountains, nor be left with a blown drive train while rv'ing because I "could" do this or that beyond spec. Even top fuel dragster pros suffer come-aparts, & they have $ & savvy to push the margin to it's ragged edge.
