    All the weight of the car is on the U bolts, you are just relying on the thread and the strenght of those bolts to hold you of the ground. This is also not to mention the dynamic forces coming into play when you apply the brakes. Those I beam axels were mad big and beefy for a reason to support the weight of the car under a lot of changing conditions.
