How strong is a 10 bolt,realy?

[BlazerBud]

A little wisdom from an OldHead.

When I was 19 I snapped a shovel in half trying to dig in some hard chert for a footer.

The OldHead asked me why I was stopping.

I told him that I kept breaking shovels, the shovels aren't strong enough I replied.

The OldHead told me that there wasn't a shovel on this earth that he couldn't snap in half..........................

I was a stupid kid doing it wrong. I needed to do it right.

It's what I always say.
I like to have overbuilt trucks, but I never seem to afford to so I ran 1/2 axles with a big ass diesel and 35" tires and never broke an axle, people break these just driving on the street with stock tires.
