a 10% increase in load decreases the fatigue life of a component by about 50%. sn curve for steel materials and the slope of the log log curve do not change much. i used to use this fact for accelerated life testing of structural components.
this is a simple material fact of life so when you lift things and add inertia from big tires things are going to break
you are going to pay to play, big tires mean you need stronger axles, adding lifts adds loads to brackets and weld are goning to break.
that's life, but if you know it going in you can plan for these things and upgrade to compensate for the higher loads.
