Default Weight of wheels

I keep reading that the heavy wheels are bending the axles, and that I should gusset and sleeve the front. Why/how does the weight of the tire bend the axle? Most of the other comments make sense to me but this one. Most of my reading seems to point that they bend in the upward fashion, am I wrong? Do the bend in the down ward fashion? I'm going to 35's soon and just trying to figure out what else I need to do.
Thanks
