I have a buddy that owns an old jeep wrangler and every time he pulls one of us out of a mud hole he does it in reverse. He has snatched me mighty hard a few times in reverse. Wouldn't pulling in reverse put most of the strain on the front axle? Would that increase the likelihood of breaking a front axle? I am wanting to clarify because at the moment my front end has a better hitch than my back end and if i can pull from the front it would save this stress on my rear bumper. I know it is just a noob question but i want to make sure i have the right facts for the future.
