Well I believe that's why the kit is designed with brackets to spread the load using both bolts as opposed to the suburban guys who just thread a studded ball right into the hatch/truck. The brackets distribute the pressure. Also I would think the pressure that is "constant" is only when it is down. I wouldn't try putting it all through one stud for sure. I was always planning on making a plate that bolted using both holes.
