not sure how anyone would/could answer about extra stress, except to say that the same bearings are used on the 4x4 that have the hub 2" further outboard in the wheel and they are all ok, sold that way every year of production. as for unscientific real world application the bearings on my 47 are still driven every day two (sheesh almost three, cant believe it) years later.
