Sas on ranger

I know this is a lame excuse but my truck is giving me a reason to do a sas, the hub n bearing got replaced on both sides during susp lift. Since then I e had to replace both sides at least once. That's 4 yrs maybe. I always blame the tires...33x12
50x15 for putting too much pressure on them. A mechanic at work says no one makes good ones, said he has same issue with his f150 and its stock. So my reasoning is when I do the sas the axle will be stronger and can handle the tires. Anyone disagree?

The Timken brand I used has lasted nearly 100k miles with my 33" tires.. On the other side, I'm still running the factory wheel bearing with 185,000 miles on it.

Might have something to do with driving habits and how you drive offroad, etc..
