I used 8 inch tires from 2006 to 2008 then again in 2016. The bearings weren't the problem.
People neglecting, not knowing how to service, setup wheel bearings is the problem.
The T84 spindle which typically comes on a 4 on 4 hub will carry 900lb each no problem.
I upgraded to 1-1/16 inner and outer bearing hubs rated for 1,250lb, I don't remember the industry standard code for those spindles.
The T84 setup uses a 1-1/16 inner bearing and smaller outter bearing.
