Absolutely.

Tighter is worse than looser.

As for the original question- the limits are limits for a reason.

Asking any of us if it is 'safe' is pointless.

Adjusting your truck tighter than spec is out of spec.

Again- tighter is worse than loose.

So- just like the guys that never check em- it's at your own risk, your mileage may vary.
