All things engineered/designed are NOT for the good days...but...for the day Mr Murphy crosses your path...there is a manual and specifications...within those manuals and spec...there are many sections with fine print drafted by lawyers...AKA...CYAs
And at that moment....either you have it or not...spot on...
Plus, at that moment you either have the proper sized and adjusted properly or not
There will be no time to go back to the store/etc....nor time to readjust...

Educate yourself. Read your manuals and if you don’t understand, ask
There is good information here...along with risky info, as there is no skin of theirs in YOUR game
My advice is conservative on purpose....anyone asking does NOT have the experience nor knowledge to push or exceed the limits...as if they did...they would not need to ask...
